Off Topic Gout

[ToonArmy1892]

Does anyone else get gout?

I'm 32 and just having my first proper attack of it in my big toe, ouch.

My dad started getting it in his 30's aswell.

Erm, meant to put it in off topic.

Do you wear a top hat, drink copious amounts of Port and own a village?

If your answer is yes, then it goes with the territory mate. Own it.!

My dads been a frequent sufferer and I’ve had it a couple of times. Main reason why I now drink a lot less. It’s ****ing awful.

So no wood and no drink. No wonder you’re miserable and negative

I think it's down to what you drunk tbh - ie Port and anything else that's a main cause.

I drink like there's no tomorrow and I've never had it.

Who does this Gout play for?
How much will he cost?
Can he score more than Wood?

Even @Roland Deschain would have Wood over Gout

Mine first started about age of 45. For a few years i thought it was just the old toe breaks from football years causing the pain. At times i couldn't walk it was so bad. Then the sister-in-law began medical training and suggested it was gout. Now on Allpurinol tablets twice a day - no attacks for about 4 years and I like my alcohol. I've read its more about food and not booze specifically - eg oily fish / mushrooms can causing to flare up bizzarely and they are usually considered to be healthy. Your GP should be able to sort you out pretty quickly.

Wtf

 

[Dorty Dogbreath]

No gout but I've had kidney stones...imagine having to piss a rock!

 

[Somebodys pinched my sombrero]

I’ve had a few operations, a heart attack, and other stuff. NOTHING compares to a good dose of gout, absolutely unbearable! Can’t walk, can’t stand bedclothes on it. Thank god for Allupurinol!

 

[Magpie Fozz]

Yes I get it and have had to pretty much go tea total as drinking sets mine off bad. I've been a lot healthier with food and exercise last couple of years so that's helped to avoid any more bouts of gout.

Drink lots of water too.

Allopurinol? I used to paint my fence with that I think!

What a bunch of geriatrics we are

Its due to build up of Urea crystals in your blood. These cause pain in the joints. You can control it by managing your diet as others have said. Red wine is particularly bad for it as are red meats.

Oh and steer clear of the roasted peacock.
