Gout, Bleeding Gums And Eye Lump Posted: 06-03-05 17:51pm
Hi all,
i had gout a few times about a year ago.
During that period I also experienced
several other symtoms that I wonder what
the connection is.
Tiredness, irritability, sore back, other
joint or maybe tendon pain, bad breath and
bleeding gums.Most strange, is this small
lump which looks like a deep blackhead
under my right eye about at the
center.This lump moves towards the outside
of the eye and eventually disappears.
To make a long story short,after first
being diagnosed with gout a year ago, I
lost alot of weight in 3 months by being
on a healthy diet, then my doctor took me
off medication and I was perfectly fine.
Furthermore I enjoyed any type of food I
chose as long as I didn't overdo it.Also
once or twice drinking each week.
My theory is I kept uric acid accumulation
under control by keeping a generally
healthy weight and diet plus alot of water
each day.
But recently I have gained weight again
and my diet has been bad.
What do you know!Tired, irritable, bad
breath, bleeding gums, knees hurt this
time, as well as my back.All at the same
time as telltale signs of a gout attack in
the big toe joint. And strangely
again---this all followed by that strange
lump appearing under my eye again well
before any of the other symtoms.
Any information on if these symtoms are
normal and the strange lump much
appreciated!
