Tuna is not that bad on the list of foods to avoid if you have gout... but a whole month of it could certainly cause problems.

Wouldn't all that protein be harmful?

Don't you drink allot too? Alcohol is probably the worst thing. Wine being #1 do not drink unless you want a week of not being able to walk. Beer is a close 2nd.

can you eat whatever you want, or do they have you on a special diet while you're in there?

They had a menu that I picked lunch and dinner from. Breakfast was eggs and sausage andserial andtoast. No restrictions, but not a big menu.

glad to hear you're OK-ish, dood! :) Had me worried.

i dunno if you've gout, but my dad has gout. And he's a REAL tough bastard, so when it's 'inflamed' and he's limping around, whimpering like a baby... I know that's a pain I'd rather not experience!

You need a scruffy looking asshole to tell you that, not a hot immigrant nurse!

I literally could not stand or walk, but the brain getting struck by lightning pain you get when you badly need a root canal trumped it. I still get electric feeling brain flashes from that. Feels like a shock right next to my left ear, about aligned with my left eye.

Worst week of my life was in 2006 when I waited to get a root canal. God bless Root Canals!

*shudder* I remember waiting for a root canal....at one point, I was in the fetal position on my bed, literally paralyzed by pain. Who knew one tooth could flare up all the nerves in half your face...it felt like somebody had poured molten lead into the left side of my face. The feeling of the pain killers finally taking hold after enduring that for two days is still one of the best moments of my life. :lol

Truth. My root canal was under weird circumstances: I had a GIGANTIC cavity for a long time, and when my dentist finally could see me, he looked in and literally told me: "Jesus christ, kid. Ughh, I need to talk to your mom."

Thing started hurting like fuck and then I got the root canal. It was uncomfortable with all that shit in my mouth, but I never felt a thing. I was all :D because of the drugs they gave me.

Kind of a strange coincidence, but my patient came in last night with extreme wrist/forearm pain that hurt so bad, he stopped eating and drinking cause he didn't want to move it. I just found out from the lab results that he has CPPD or pseudogout. Made me think of White Man. Anyway, he was just recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, so I think it's probably the least of his worries.

If you got gout, like I do, the best thing is to drink a lot of water to help flush the uric acid out of your system. Every time you take a piss, you're flushing uric acid from your body. Also, get a lot of vitamin C in your diet as well. That helps prevent gout build-up from happening.

Dang. Someone take away my internet medical license. O wait I never had one! :lol

This makes me even more nervous. Maybe I don't have gout either...

haven't posted here but still alive and posting I see.


Was the attending physician house like? Solved the medical mystery? I'm quite surprised they can't pinpoint the condition. How weird.
