gout, acute
"Ok First of all I can honestly say I am a member of the honorable Gout Club.   I have had full blown gout at least 4 times when I failed to react to the symptoms due to confusing the pain to that of my Cholesterol medication.  On the initial onset of pain,  OD on Cherry Juice concentrate, Daily C and lots of water helps block the effect if done so immediately.  If I delay and its the true Gout attack I'm in for giving birth to a baby out my big toe.   Well at least its the most horrible feeling, Unless your a true gout member you wont ever understand / appreciate the real pain one goes thru.   Indomethacin  has been the real pain stopper and works everytime. Unfortunately for me I was on Effient  and Plavix and they wouldn't prescribe."
