I've had gout for 22 years (I am 46). I have been taking Uricinex religiously every day for 6 months and I am currently lying on the lounge in agony and have been for almost 4 weeks. My opinion....uricinex does not work. i was very excited reading the testimonials and maybe it does work for some....but certainly not for me. This is my third attack since taking them and I have to say, they are the worst three attacks I have ever had. I am taking them in conjunction with a medically prescribed dose of allopurinol and also celery seed extract capsules. I am now investigating the Ph balance theories and have just started on the bicarbonate of soda drinks. I will try anything!

I suggest that you insist that your doctors have you screened for sleep apnea, and then follow their recommended regimen to overcome it if you are diagnosed with it. Not only should that cure your gout, as it did for me, but it will also greatly decrease your risk for the development of many other serious conditions, many of which are life-threatening.

could you please explain how sleep apnea contributes to gout? I want to know more. I have a deviated septum and I bet I have sleep apnea. I snore so bad that I often find my wife on the couch in the morning.

Hi Tommytowne

The connection of gout to sleep apnea was written about in pulmonology journal literature more than 20 years ago. The repeated, prolonged periods of lack of breathing and oxygen deprivation known as sleep apnea cause two effects that lead to gout. The first effect is that oxygen-starved cells throughout the body undergo the process of catabolism, which would lead to their death if continued long enough. Cells in catabolism generate excess uric acid which they dispose of in the blood. The second effect is that the reduction of oxygen makes the blood even more acidic. The body compensates to restore normal blood acidity by dumping out uric acid in the form of crystals of monosodium urate. When these crystals lodge in a joint in those people predisposed to gout, they initiate an immune system response that leads to the pain and inflammation of gout.

Despite the fact that these effects were described in medical literature, they are not recognized by most doctors who treat gout. If we gout patients insist that we be screened and tested for sleep apnea, and then follow the treatment recommended to overcome it, we could greatly reduce our risk for the development of many serious diseases that are known consequences of sleep apnea as well as prevent further attacks of gout. A deviated septum is one of the anatomical structural conditions that makes sleep apnea more likely to occur. Heavy snoring is often a symptom of sleep apnea. Check it out.

I have never heard this before and I am happy I joined this forum. I'm going to talk to my doctor soon about it.
Do you sleep with a mask?

I have found that I can overcome my sleep apnea by making sure that I always sleep on my side with my head elevated by about 30 degrees. I make sure that I never sleep on my back. This is called position therapy for sleep apnea. It prevents gravity from pulling the base of my tongue down into the throat when my muscles relax during sleep. Position therapy is recognized as being most effective for people who are not overweight.

You may find that your doctor pooh poohs the idea of gout attacks being caused by sleep apnea because he never learned of it through his usual medical channels. If you want some additional ammunition with you when you talk to him, you can download the list of medical journal references at www.freewebs.com/goutcure< /a> .

Good luck.

I appreciate the info
