[QUOTE="Werewolf, post: 1993096, member: 239"] If you're still getting attacks and taking anti Gout meds then guess what; they aren't working and/or your doc hasn't figured out the problem with why you've got gout. You make too much uric acid or the uric acid you make isn't absorbed back into the kidneys at high enough rate. One or the other or both of those processes are at work. Different meds for each issue. I've had gout for years. Struggled with more frequently occuring attacks as time progressed until I finally gave up trying to control it with diet. Doc put me on Allopurinol - haven't had an attack in well over 6 years and I get to eat what I like not the pansy ass bs the anti-gout diet lets you eat. Allopurinol Works by reducing the production of uric acid. Been in use for well over 50 years and has few side effects and the one's it has are mild. Might wanna verify that allergy to be sure if you haven't already. $6 for a 30 day supply. Uloric! Why use the latest drug company replacement for something that's worked for 1/2 a century and does nothing for you but put money in their pockets. [/QUOTE]
