Gout sucks. Post about it here and I will send you posi vibes.

quote:

Gout (also known as podagra when it involves the big toe)[3] is a medical condition usually characterized by recurrent attacks of acute inflammatory arthritis—a red, tender, hot, swollen joint. The metatarsal-phalangeal joint at the base of the big toe is the most commonly affected (approximately 50% of cases). It may also present as tophi, kidney stones, or urate nephropathy. It is caused by elevated levels of uric acid in the blood. The uric acid crystallizes, and the crystals deposit in joints, tendons, and surrounding tissues.

Clinical diagnosis may be confirmed by seeing the characteristic crystals in joint fluid. Treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), steroids, or colchicine improves symptoms. Once the acute attack subsides, levels of uric acid are usually lowered via lifestyle changes, and in those with frequent attacks, allopurinol or probenecid provides long-term prevention.

Gout has become more common in recent decades, affecting about 1 to 2% of the Western population at some point in their lives. The increase is believed to be due to increasing risk factors in the population, such as metabolic syndrome, longer life expectancy, and changes in diet. Gout was historically known as "the disease of kings" or "rich man's disease."

I've had patients with gout. They were human garbage and we threw them in the appropriate medical waste container.

I can't think of any reason you would ever get gout in the developed world unless you're a fat piece of poo poo that has absolutely no self control. You're literally a piss-filled babby. Sorry, OP, but you need to know.

Can you get rid of gout by not eating horrible food anymore, or are you stuck with it for life now?

I have gout flare-ups when I work, instead of sitting on my rear end.

and winter. and after heavy drinking.

have considered using a needle used for refilling ink cartridges, sticking it into my foot and sucking out those crystals.

The greatest drug free high you can get is having your knee drained after a week of swelling. The sudden removal of pain is elating; there should be a knee-drain fetish community.

One time a couple years ago my toe was fuckin' killing me and I could barely walk so I went to the doctor. He was like, "I think you got gout, man, stop eating so many wieners and Italian sandwiches". So I did and now I can walk like a normal person.
