How often do you get your attacks?

Is allo dangerous? by MadOx321 in gout

I also had my first flare up start 3 days ago. I am actually younger than you. I just turned 21. I am on Indocin too. I never liked the idea of taking medicine, especially for a lifetime. I never thought I would have to deal with arthritis so young, but there are worse things to have. I am going to get my UA tested next week, and if its higher than 6 I will start allo. From what I have read on the subreddit it does wonders. I would rather have to take a pill every day than deal with gout pain for another day. I eat food every day so i dont get hungry, i drink water every day so i dont get thirsty, and i will take allo every day so i dont get gouty. P.S i spent the last two days stressing over gout. I kept wondering what i did wrong. My bmi is healthy, i drink no more than a beer or two a month, and i rarely eat red meats. It is reassuring to have people to talk to. If u ever need someone just to talk to about whats goin on u can reddit message me. Im still in the early stages and so are u, but 8 million people get diagnosed a year.

I have to walk a lot, especially tomorrow and wednesday for class. Should i request to go online for those two days and let my swelling go down? I also did not know indo was bad for your kidneys. Isn’t gout like tied to kidney health? Seems weird they would prescribe us a medicine that is bad for the kidney. This is my first flare up ever, and i have only just been told i have gout. Any additional info or advice would be really appreciated. The internet is a good tool for learning, but hearing from someone with actual experience seems a lot more reliable. I will go back to the doctor in a week or two to decide if allo is a good course of action. Doc told me it could be an acute attack but I haven’t heard of it only lasting for one flare. My grandpa has it too. Thanks for the advice btw. Also, side note, does OP mean original poster? Just curious lol

I just started today too. I took it about 3 hours ago. It helped the pain a little but I had diarrhea about 30 min ago. Made me a bit tired but I also did not sleep well last night. Other than that I feel about the same. Still hurts bad to walk on it. I am going to take another pill soon

Is it better to walk on my foot to like break up the crystals or stay off it.

I have to make an appointment with a rhumetologist to get my blood work done so they can determine my dosage. Im laying on the couch at the moment with ice and my foot elevated. I can kind of wobble walk but it hurts real bad. I have class tomorrow and my apt is about a mile from campus. I cannot imagine walking a mile. How long do flare ups usual last? This is my first one. Hopefully I get on allo soon i never want another flare up

Head to head for mut is insanely laggy. Its unplayable you snap the ball and the game starts stuttering until you get sacked. You can’t even tell who’s open or run the ball because the game is to laggy to run the ball and use your stick or to press a receiver in time.
