I got gout saturday and went to the hospital for precautionary reasons.

[Takes Two To Tango]

I don't have it but I have had several colleagues that would get it. They all had several hospital visits as well saying it was extremely painful so don't feel embarassed about going.

No I wasn't embarrassed, I was in a lot of pain. I just want to the relieve the pain asap.

Do you drink a lot?

In Aus its regarded as the piss head disease as generally only alcho's get it regularly.

edit. Not saying this to shame you or anything. I think you are a genuinely nice guy.

If you are hitting the bottle a bit hard or have some other issues, shoot me a message happy to chat mate.

No I don't drink a lot, I just eat a lot of sugary stuff and I think that's one of the biggest reasons. As well as eating a lot of red meat and seafood.

You must be pretty fucking fat TS. Everyone i know that has mentioned having gout is a fat fuck. Like you got to be pretty fat to have fat feet or fat fingers.

How much do you drink and how old are you? That's nuts.

I don't drink that much anymore and wont drink anymore at all until i get uric acid levels down. I'm 46.

I'm definitely overweight. Need to lose the weight and just eat foods that don't have high or rich in purine.

You should ask your doctor to prescribe Wegovy if you are Pre Diabetic, and if you are Diabetic ask about Ozempic. Both help weight loss. Just depends where your A1C is at.

Those are good ideas. Does Ozempic have a lot of side effects?

I cant speak for Ozempic. I take Wegovy for my A1C so i never get Diabetes. But i never got any major side effects. Every so often i got some mild nausea, but my doctor prescribed a med for it. Zofran.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

Those are good ideas.

Those are life saving ideas.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Those are life saving ideas.

Yup indeed.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

Yup indeed.

I really hope you give it a shot.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

I really hope you give it a shot.

Thank you I'll definitely consider it.

I got it once. During the pandemic and I didnt drink much water. Always had a mask on. Anyhow, a dislocated toe turned into gout and it fucking hurt. It bacically is some kind of crystal that forms inside you. Its like having broken glass inside your veins. DRINK A SHITLOAD OF WATER. Hydration will prevent most common gout occurances.
