Day 7 of my first (and hopefully last) gout attack.

Last night was miserably painful. I went down to every 6 hours with Naproxin and it barely keeps the pain at bay. Went to bed at 10 and took a delta 9 gummy, slept pretty good until 2, tossed and turned wit the stabbing pain. Came downstairs at 0300 and took another Naproxin and slept in the chair until 6. Then went back to bed and got another hour and a half. Another Naproxin at 0900.

Now enjoying coffee. Elevating the foot seems to help. Also not as much redness today. Hopefully on the downslide

Get better soon 👍

My doctor told me when I got some years ago that was due to the excess of meat and uric acid… something like that.

Since then I stop to eat sausages and cheap meat.

Now I eat only picanha and entrecôte when I have money to buy 😅

Well there seems to be contention, some say it's a liver issue as uric acid is produced by the liver and most that have it have high insulin levels and metabolic syndrome. Well lately, I've been fucking myself, and I think I tend to agree, as I've put on about 25lbs mostly belly fat. Also with the alcohol, that increases fat around your mid section (beer belly)

I haven't checked my insulin levels. I probably need to get some blood work done.

If you do the blood test, ask to check the iron level also.

I got fat liver for many years and even avoiding what can cause it. It never got better.

Nowadays, the high iron seems to be cause of all trouble ….
