    Gout sucks! And for everyone's edification, gout is a form of arthritis and not "the organ meat eaters disease."

    The first (and second) time I had it, I swore that I had broken my big toe, it hurt so bad.
    Couldn't walk much, even having a sheet or sock on my foot caused shooting pain. And it always starts in the middle of the night.

    Have you tried Colchicine? It is, by far, the best treatment for the excruciating pain of gout (well, I guess Oxycontin would help with the pain, but...).
    It is by prescription, but is not a "pain reliever" in the traditional sense. It knocks out the pain pretty quickly while not messing you up like opiates do.

    I take Allopurinol to avoid it, but Colchicine when it happens.

    God, I hate that term. It makes liver seem unpalatable, when all it needs is to cooked the right way.

    Unfortunately, I had forgot to refill my Colchicine prescription after my last attack (which was some time ago). Refilled now, so I'll be ready for next time.

    Everything you said is true. It really sucks. But I'm on the tail end of this attack, so that's good.

    One of the things the dining hall did well at university was liver and onions. It was probably the last time I ate liver semi-regularly.

    I don't associate gout and liver with Christmas though.

    I thought maybe your true love gave you gout and liver on the 13th day of Christmas.

    Had to LOL. That’s my dinner tonight. Liver and onions with new potatoes. Great source of iron that I need after all the antibiotics I’ve taken. I love a good liver sandwich as well.
    When I travelled to England a lot. I’d love a pub that served Steak and Kidney pie with a good suet pastry on top.
