Beer and Gout

No Gout! Just kidney stones! I will trade that pain for anything!

 

water (there is a limit), colchicine and ice packs IMMEDIATELY ON FLARE UP HAVE IT WITH YOU, yoga, and minimalist shoes. The purine thing is a marginal correlation. This all started in my 40s but mostly extreme kicking and pressure on my foot starts it up.
Dont get me started on psudo gout

 

beer and water. I had the stone physically removed, now sometimes but they pass right through

 

I passed a horrid, jagged little asteroid of a kidney stone about 5:30 AM on the 16th of December, 1992 after two weeks of on-again-off-again bullshit and agony. Graduated college about three and a half hours later, don't friggin' remember it. Don't even remember if it was indoors or outdoors. Considered as a 24-hour day, the biggest relief of my life.

For guys who have never had the pleasure: it feels exactly like being kicked in the balls, but ten times as intense. Ladies, I can't explain how it feels, but I may can give you an idea how intense the pain is: I've talked to nine women over the years that have both passed a kidney stone and had children, and they have all been of the opinion that childbirth is a cakewalk compared to passing a kidney stone.

On the plus side, it's the only time I've ever gone to a bar on the advice of a doctor.

I've got gout (left big toe) which is still pretty minor. I haven't had any flare ups with beer drinking (and I drink a few :-) ), but shellfish (shrimp!), gravys and asparagus will pain me occasionally. My remedy is I drink a beer...

 

No need for handcuffs. Just put a shirt on please.

 

frig off

 

I hate to burst your bubble but gout does kinda just disappear when it does go.

 

I have my moments .
