I’m really thinking to talk to my doc about going down in dose when I start Allopurinol back up. The side effects or whatever I experienced freaked me out too much. I’m thinking down to 150mg or so as I found some information talking about dosing and ones Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR). Mine is 150 which is very high (high being good) so wouldn’t think I could have any Renal issues but who knows.

I’m only 35 and taking allopurinol for the next 40+ years isn’t that appealing to me. Neither is getting another Gout attack so I want to get this right. I live in the US so I can pick my doctor and specialist and if this Doctor is going to answer my specific health concerns with one liners then I might need to find another that has time to dedicate towards my concerns.. Just my .02 cents..

Thanks for the reply.

Ok I’m really thinking of getting the UASure meter but don’t see it on ebay or amazon and since I’m in the USA guess I will need to order internationally from: http://www.uricacidtest.com/

Is it possible to use any Uric Acid test strips with this meter or do I need to buy them for the specific meter. With the Conversion rate it is going to get expensive. Was hoping I can use the Easytouch strips in this meter.

I also see this meter but didn’t know if anyone has tried it:

I live in the US and find it difficult to order a UA meter. Do you guys have a direct link that works for one I could purchase. I want the meter that everyone else is using and proven.

thanks in advance.
