About Me
Had gout since 19. Has been getting progressively worse. Especially the last 5 or so years. I cannot watch TV during some attacks due the vibration from the voices on the TV hurting the affected joint. I have pretty much had gout anywhere and everywhere. I had a surgery on my small toe due to tophi buildup but now the little toe is close to the same size as my big toe. I use Colchicine when I have a flare up. The normal dosage does nothing for me so I have to take 3-4 an hour to eliminate the uric acid. My bloodwork normally shows my uric acid level being around 12-13. I was in bed for 80 total days last year with gout. I tell people it is like dropping a 100 pound dumbbell on your foot only the pain never seems to go away. I have also had uric acid kidney stones....NOT FUN!!
