Thank you Keith. I dont consider my doctor a fool but Im really glad she sent a referal for me to see a Joint Specialist. Sorry I didnt mention that; my apology. Its just sucks cause im have an gout attack right now.
Hi kuya, I too suffer from gout and I am filipino. You didnt metion if you stop taking allopurinol.
Sorry my tagalog is very bad. Hoping things go well with your studies. By the way taking apple cider vinegar doesnt stop your UA level from going higher.
Just got back on allopurinol 200 mg. 2 weeks progress now. Before getting back to the medication my UA level was 12.2. My doctor is recultantly NOTgoing to increase the dose of allopurinol over 300 mg. But Im going to see a Joint Specialist that will increase the dose over 300 mg; hopefully. The schedule appointment is on Feb. 1st. Longs ways alway. My question is my soreness, redness and pain will it go away once allopurinol dose is above 300 mg?
1?months and a half ago, my UA level was 6.74 mg/dL. Which is average, but my feet and hand still have numbness and redness residing on the padding. (I apologize I dont have photos to show you)
Thank you Zip for your quick response,
I will take your advice and persistantly force my GP to start me at 300 mg.?After a month I will inform you on my SUA level. And I will hopefully up my dose and inform you on that. After 5 months of drinking litres of waters, using allopurinol and no relief. Saying “giving up hope” is a big understatement.?
?Hi azasadny and momoy4, both your situation are similar to mine. Ever since I started taking 200mg of allopurinol?that pain seems not to disappear.?It just started to spread around my knees and hands. Its been 2 and half months?of drinking?2 litres?of water and taking allopurinol. Mid March SUA was 6.2 . I will try to change my diet. If that doesn't help I'll try the ALKALIZED WATER, cherry juice, apple cider vinager and baking soda.

Had?gout for 5 years now, seems like there's nothing that can really help.
