gout, acute
"I'm 40 yr old healthy female that mysteriously had my first gout attack this week.  I thought my toes were broken.  I got into the doc right away and he rx'd indomethacin.  Well I'm 4 days after the attack and getting around pretty good and started managing it with just aleve by the 3Rd day but I quit the indomethacin because the side effects were terrible.  Bad headaches,  really tired,  dizzy. I thought it was the vicodin given to me for the pain but my side effects worsened even after I quit vicodin.  Everyone is different and I would have taken anything on day 1 to try and help the pain but I quit taking this drug as soon as my foot cleared up. The drug is unbearable.  Hopefully no new attacks for me and this is a freak thing."
