Got gout? [View all]
I do, dammit! It came a surprise as I am a woman, not overweight and I gave up red meat 10 years ago. Then I woke up last weekend with the most horrible pain in my left foot and it was completely swollen. Got to the clinic for blood work and sure enough: gout. No more beer for me. 
Today I started taking Colchicine which is supposed to clear it up right away. For $8 a pill, it better. I just wondered if anyone else here had dealt with it so we could commiserate a bit.
