Are there any other gout sufferers here?

I take Uloric, Colcrys and a furosemide water pill, but still it hurts. I have it in my ankles and right knee.

1. I do, but clearly don't have it as bad as you.

I have it primarily in my toe and it only flares up one or two times a year (but is HORRIBLE when it does). I have been taking Pantothenic Acid daily and haven't had a flare up since (have also been loosing weight so that may be it, too). Apparently pantothenic acid (a B vitamin) helps the body deal with uric acid.

2. From time to time

However my doctor put me on Uloric and I haven't had a flare up since.

3. A glass of

Knuedsen's Organic Just Tart Cherry Juice keeps mine under control. Once it dies down I can go off the juice. I just make sure I have plenty on hand for the next flare up. I can tell when I need to start drinking so I am able to mitigate the horrible pain I once had.

4. Thanks for the suggestion.

I'll look into it.
