Gouts bad but not comparable. It's a week or two of agony but you'll keep going.

It's basically a build up of acid crystals in your joints mainly toes ankles and fingers that grind and crunch in the joint.

To avoid it less red meat, less sugars less seafood. More water. Try not to be an islander as they have a bit of a disposition to it.

Yep. No more apple pie, lots of cherries and water. And absolutely no roast beef!

I mean it more sounds like you flooded your system you should be okay with those things spread out. But that's not coming from a dr or taking into account other issues

Like I said, it's been awhile since I had a gout attack. I had a mild one for a few days last year. Too much tuna. Not enough cherries. Easily fixed.

This is the first one since everything went sideways in the spring. And it was on the heels of eating so much more sugar, fish and beef than usual, and also no berries, cherries or grapes. I really was asking for it. Which is why I consider this to be a fuck up, and not just more of the bad health this year has seen. I did this. Beats head on wall.
