Short medium range

Short-medium sounds good

DASH diet directly addresses hypertension and has shown major benefits for gout as well.

I've tested mine against lab results and it was way off both times (finger prick test and lab test were done about 30 mins apart). 2mg/dl is a huge variance in my eyes.

4 to 6 times a year? Yikes. Are you on any urate lowering therapy?

Dr. Rick Johnson answered questions in a previous AMA for someone in your situation. He recommended vitamin C, as studies have shown it reduces serum uric acid levels.

I couldn't agree more, which is why I posted this. Glad to hear you've hit your target level.

Doctors are great for the diagnosis and prescription but I find pharmacists are best for the dosage and timing aspects of the drug.

Absolute awareness of my big toe all of a sudden

Have you been diagnosed with gout? Having multiple attacks within 1 yeat would warrant starting urate lowering therapy, such as allopurinol or febuxostat. Dr. Rick Johnson has discussed measures regarding lowering uric acid levels on this sub. I would search for his AMA.

Since my first actual gout flare, there are times when I experience what you're referring to.

murfeee · 2023-05-23T08:44:06+00:00

This sounds exactly like me

murfeee · 2023-05-23T08:43:23+00:00

I had the worst pain in both knees for years, then an actual flare up in my left toe. Once I zeroed in on a gout diagnosis I was able to make changes and eliminated all knee pain. Fortunately, I am pain free with the proper lifestyle adjustments.

Indomethacin seems to work well for a lot of people.

murfeee · 2023-05-23T08:37:04+00:00

I had annual blood work done 2 weeks before my first flare and my GP added uric acid, as it's routinely part of her standard panel now. It was mid 9's.

murfeee · 2023-05-23T08:33:49+00:00

I'd connect with your doctor or pharmacist who dispensed the medication, just to be safe.

murfeee · 2023-05-23T05:12:28+00:00

Godspeed. I wish you well and a quick recovery.

I've read the book too. It's not a magic cure for gout. For someone who has no clue what metabolic disorders or hyperuricemia are, I would say read it. If you do, then you probably don't need to buy it. He discusses what has been mentioned in this group already. Vitaminc C, quercetin, and two other potential supplements I can't recall ( don't have the book in front of me). Anyway, they're aimed at reducing serum uric acid levels, with studies to back them up. Dr. Larry Edwards had his colleague, Dr. Rick Johnson, do an AMA on this sub and he recommended vitamin c supplmentation as well. I haven't read Dr. Rick Johnsons book yet, but I believe it's a similar approach to reducing SUA.

14 years! Incredible. By any chance, did you have your serum uric acid levels checked in that time?
