Are you able to keep it down with medication, or not? I had a friend who really struggled with gout, years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're the finance expert here, use the pits to plant and grow cherry trees! Don't waste the financial opportunities life is trying to give you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't waste the financial opportunities life is trying to give you! Good thinking. But in my particular case those pits were actually the women in my life and while I'd like nothing better than to plant them in the ground I believe they still put you in prison for that don't they? 😈 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup.....but let's not forget that while on an extended drunk I left mine out in the hot sun and most of it melted. That's why I'm sticking with THC gummies these days. 😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a friend who really struggled with gout, years ago. The meds work I am told. But it is a daily medication drug (allopurinal) and I try to avoid that if possible. I just stay disciplined with diet and avoid it that way. But yes it is nasty. Most painful thing you can imagine during a bad flare up and it can last a long time with no reprieve. When I say no reprieve I mean no reprieve. Days on end without sleep due to pain. But it is a blessing in disguise, pain is a great teacher. It forces you to eat better, not get heavy and avoid drunkenness. Most people tell me I look a lot younger than my age, they always think I am younger than I am. I think a big reason is I eat decent, I don’t drink and I have had to do that for nearly 2 decades now. My choice is stay disciplined or take a drug and just do what I want. Seems to be working out for better staying disciplined for most part. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diet is huge to people's health, it sucks you have to deal with that but at least you're reaping benefits and not treating it as a hindrance. I wish more people had that outlook. While working as a personal trainer there was always someone who was new to the gym that I was working with or at least giving a tour that had to make strict changes to their diet (though usually because of Type II diabetes, heart disease, etc that a lifetime of poor diet and lifestyle caused). Pretty much all of them recognized their bad behaviors and knew potential consequences, but assumed it wouldn't happen to them. Sadly they usually had to be told of a dramatic issue that would happen by a Dr rather than make the choice themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK Man, you have been a pretty dark place lately, everything OK? (also you can tape a bunch of straight pasta together with the ends of the noodles arranged on a bias and when you're done you have a spike that'll go through drywall but only dent a stud) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
