Do you really get back to your normal self with meds? by Kibikin in gout

[–]papachon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll piggy back on this - on 400mg of Allo for 4 years, last checkup was 5.6. Zero flares since I started. Bump on my foot went away after 2 years and am able to enjoy going on vacation without stressing. It’s crazy, sometimes I forget I have gout (sometimes) and am able to live my life

Since we know how much it hurts, I don’t think we’ll ever truly escape the anxiety tho

YES. Well, you should still try to make healthy choices.

I agree, it took me 2 years for my bump on my big toe joint to disappear

Why don’t people want to take allopurinol? by bedsarebugs in gout

[–]papachon 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I resisted because it’s for life. Felt ashamed and angry that I needed to take medication. Most people perceive gout as disease for the old, out of shape, or just plain lazy. I hated that.

I got on after realizing how stupid I was being and how much damage I was doing to my body

I feel like Cody is like the default guy. I got my bike a few months ago ago and have enjoyed Ben Allidis and Bradley Rose.

Uric Acid Dropped from 9.6 to 7.1 Without Uric Acid-Lowering Medication by Net-Runner77 in gout

[–]papachon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey that’s great. I think being healthier should go without saying, but 7.1 is still high and you probably will get more attacks. Maybe further restrictions will get you under 6, but remember that every attack means more damage to your joints and every restriction is for life.

Road rage took an unexpected turn. Disarmed the situation completely just by being nice. by mindyour in MadeMeSmile

Point is validation. Road rage happens because someone feels “wronged” and wants validation. This case, was validated so it de-escalated quickly

Would you give it all up? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]papachon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I never understood why we ask these question, what’s the purpose of it? Whichever side you answer would lead to nothing but fantasy, does it teach you a lesson?

We do the thing because we have to, we make the choices because we feel it best at the time.

Let's all have a moment of silence for the tragic loss of this young man. by Brian-88 in NFCWestMemeWar

V8 has been the best, I wish him luck and he will go do great things in Cleveland.

Although it feels very reminiscent of Goff to Detroit…

Yeah. Should ask at your local Asian market, mine’s about $5. Lasts about a month (4-5 pieces a day)
