Oh my dude I get gout plenty (a lot less now) and am diabetic so I can totally emphasise with you and how much the attacks suuuuck.

I always try to keep a pack of frozen raspberry in the freezer just in case. And being on progout as a preventative measure seems to mostly work.

Try not to sit and stew in your thoughts, by the sounds of it you've done amazingly and I'm super proud of you. Your learning what your limits are and what your body can take.

Maybe have a get together in January or February. It might not be the same but you can still have that Christmas-y moment.

If only....

Many of the specialties I had to pass on are only on offer around Christmas time. But I still thoroughly enjoyed my family and the their enjoyment of the gifts and food. And the apple pie was nice while it lasted.

I mean, hey: I'm still alive. That's worth more than a meal!
