Knowing people who have had gout, you should check out the new medications.

They went from decades of careful diets and sporadic misery to lives without pain and way less restrictive diets.

My flares are rare, thankfully.

What it amounts to is take a pill every day, for something that's problematic once every few months, or take a lot of pills for a little while when it flares.

My PCP is happy to have her nurses shove a needle full of prednisone in my ass too.
