My Thanksgiving Feast

Well here it is several days after Thanksgiving and I have gout in my knee. It's not so bad I can't walk but it's bad enough that when I step wrong I know I utter a few choice words. It's funny how gout can enlarge your vocabulary.

I know what caused the gout this time. We bought a spiral cut ham and it was great. I think I ate one pound by myself. I have no will power!

Thanksgiving was great, not only did we have a good ham but the turkey mashed potatoes, rolls, salads, oh what a great day. I better stop or I'll be looking for some midnight snacks.

Well better run for now drop a line tell us about your experience with gout.

Gout again

Today I have a little bit of gout in my ankle. It started yesterday and was painful to walk but not so bad that I had to just sit in the chair and do nothing. This morning I took colchacine and now the pain is going away. I just hope it stays away.

How is your gout? Let me know
