gout
"I've had gout for 10 years I'm 37.
Over the past 2 years I've been getting attacks every couple of weeks in my feet, ankles, knees and elbow.
I was bed bound for a full week in January couldn't walk had to crawl to the toilet absolute horrible time.
I started allopurinol 300mg at first then upped it to 600mg as I was still getting attacks.
After about 1 month taking 600mg I got a blood test and my urate levels were normal after 10 years.
Back down to 300mg per day and not had a gout attack since February.
My diet is still the same and I still drink alcohol most weekends but the tablet I take each day controls my gout."
