[QUOTE="Jiffy, post: 361233, member: 6332"] I'm EXTREMELY against all medications! I realize they have their place, but if I can take care of it without medicating I'm all for that as a first resort! IMO people take the easy way out and tend to just take a pill to make things better. Not to mention ALOT of the physicians out there are too prescription happy for my liking!! Nevertheless, after battling 3 years with a gout diagnosis I finally gave into my doctors prescription of alopurinol. (I even quit drinking altogether...I know, hell froze over) Zero side effects, that I can tell, and zero flare ups since. (and it's cheap!!) Gout is one of those aliments that is a SOB to try and take care of!! Not only is it extremely painful and rather debilitating, there are so many triggers it's damn near impossible to "naturally" remediate. Just take a gander at all the foods that are high in purines. You'll be surprised!! PS: It still pisses me off in a way that I "need" a prescription though!! I guess I'll have to get over that eventually. [/QUOTE]
