gout
"I signed up just to review this drug. 

In my late 20s I came down with gout. I was/ am overweight and drink more alcohol then I should. I broke bones, tore ligaments, and I think gout was the worst pain I came across. It wasn't only for the first day, but it would stick with me for days and weeks. I would be intense pain. It was severely impacting my life. 

I tried taking cherry pills, and other over the counter but nothing seemed to work. 

After skeptism I began taking allopurinol. I have been taking it for nearly 9 months and have not had a single attack (knock on wood). I am still overweight and drink occasionally like I'm in college."
