My go to thing for any illness like that is loads of water
Yeah I’ve been drinking water throughout the day, but that’s it.
Plain boiled white rice can help.

Apparently I have fat git disease more commonly known as gout. 2 attacks this year and the common factor seems to be seafood, specifically shrimp or prawns.
I’m now on some painkillers so toxic I need to take another medication to stop it dissolving my stomach and a blood test in a few weeks time.
Limping about the place and shouting for more port is causing the wife’s headaches to worsen but my fucking foot nacks.

I suffer from gout but haven’t had an attack for a couple of years. Avoid offal, cod, tuna, sardines, scallops and anchovies for starters.
They’re OK for dessert though

any Port in a storm.
Check it out. Purines is the culprit here. Fun fact Spinach and Asparagus have purines but that don’t cause gout.
There’s a goût de rien joke in there somewhere as well.

I have few fucking pleasures now. Alcohol never agreed with me, I’ve given up nicotine aside from an annual cigar on my birthday, hard drugs are a young man’s game. Food was a simple pleasure that now has the ability to cause me pain.
Fuck my life.

Were you taking any preventative medication? I had a spate of gout attacks 2015-17 and, once I’d done the ‘full puritan’ diet to establish that, regardless of what I eat, I have elevated uric acid levels, I was prescribed allopurinol. I take a tablet a day, have a better understanding of the chart a couple of posts up and thankfully, I’ve been alright since .
