I have had gout for many many years... Im
35 years old, but I started some of my
first attacks when I was 25.
My grandfather has it, my mother has it,
so LUCKY ME.. I have it.
Everything that effects gout is my
favorite. Spicy food, High Protein food,
Wine and Shell Fish. I cut down as much
as possible.
Normally I get it across the bridge of my
foot. Oddly I have never got gout in my
toe. But I have noticed that my Gout
moves from joint to joint.
It went from my foot, too my knee and now
it seems its going into the Hip. One
night I was in so much pain I was
sweating. Its is a horrible attack, one
im still trying to cope with. Im 35 and
Im walking like im 95.
I had a Uric Acid test and it was in fact
a level of 15. My doctor told me that
when he gets attacks its around a 7. He
also has gout, so he knows what I'm going
through.
The issue im having is my liver enzymes
were very high due to the fact that I
drink a lot. They were 122. He wants me
not to drink or take any pain meds for 2
weeks so I can have another blood test to
see if the enzymes go down.
It's been one week and I have been living
off of water, salads, very little protein,
and not a drop of alcohol. The gout seems
to be as strong as it was prior.
Does anyone know ANY pain medication that
does not effect the liver?
