As the title i'v had it since sat morning and oh my god its fooking painfull!!!!!!!!!

 

nope, but I am a PRIME candidate! shocked I haven't got it to be honest!!!

 

i know 2 people that have gout and they always struggle when it kicks in!!
one of them has quite an aray of pain killers to combat it!!

 

what is it? i thought it was some WW1 disease?

you got trench foot and skirvy too?

EDIT- just had a read on wikipedia, sounds nasty!

 

My mate has!

Got it at Glastonbury 4 years ago. Nasty!

 

My uncle suffers with it apparently, from what i know its just down to drinking ALOT!

 

You don't need to worry mate

 

yea it bloody hurts going to the docs to have some tests to see but the docs pretty sure thats what it is. I cant wait till it goes relieve me of the pain. i snapped my cruciate ligament in my knee that was painful but this is beating it at the moment

 

my society is more effluent then affluent

 

my dad gets it, shellfish can trigger it too

but mostly cos he drinks a lot i expect

 

its the first time i'v had it and dont want it again

 

I had it once mate, bloody sore! Cut back on the booze and rich foods, and drink loads off water! Never been troubled since.

I mean loads off water, I piss like a pony now!

 

cheers mate how old was you when you had it

 

Yup I get it, and bad too.
Have worked out my triggers now, so avoid them like the plague.
Any trips to the USA I make sure I take LOTS of pills with me, as I cant resist steak lol.

I thought it was an old persons thing, but then saying that I seem to get most ailments.

Last 2 years have seen...

Hypertension
Gout
Stomach ulcers
and just to round it off.......... tennis elbow lol

 

32 Not been troubled since tho

 

What was the hypertension all about? Dizzy spells?

 

Hypertension aka high blood pressure. Dizzy spells, fuzzy concentration, easily stressed, panic and breath erratically. Not a nice feeling.
I was about 31-32 when I got Gout too.

 

Bro had it and was in agony. And he was only 20 at the time!
