OK… I'm starting get conviced, your right as I dont work then it's not a problem with time off
maybe I think I just need to understand a bit more about Gout and AlloP….I'll read up lots more…..but eitherway I'm not a martyr and will go on it if thats what has to be
Thanks
well I've still got a sore kneen and cant put my full weight on it but I'm not in pain unless I over do it, this is the longest flare up I've ever had, but I put that down to being a single parent, having to do housework and walk my 5yr ols to school (100 meters)
when I went back to the docs on Tuesday, she said my acid levels were slightly high, then gave me the talk about the comitment of going on Allopurinol….. I rufused chose not to go on it, I think with my attacks having been better in the last year that weight loss and better diet will help more, I dont think I'm bad enough for the stuff, besides I want cure rather than a course of tablets for the rest of my life
Kombucha, I did read your response some days ago, and I take where you are coming from, in that no trails proper have been done, but I dont see and danger for me as I'm not HIV or preganant, diabetic or anything else….. but I had held off on the first brew I prepaired till last night when I had a mini flairup, (ie can just about bend me knee, where as earlier in the day I was walking whitout a limp) anyway I took a dicoflex then still in pain and frearing the worst was on its way tried a Half pint of Kombucha and went to bed around 10 pm, and the pain died down and I slept through till 7.30 this morning feeling back to having a slight limp when I got out of bed.
I cant say for sure if maybe I just cought in in time, or if the Kombucha made all the difference.
From now on I'm logging all my gout activiy and medication/diet and making prescribed drugs as a last resort
also the first 10 litre brew of Kombucha had 250ml of Cider vinegar added which gives is a nice bite
I'm not going to shout from the roof tops about Kombucha, as a miricle cure for all known ailments, but I am a bit of a beliver of the stuff
I'll keep you updated as time goes by…… but if anyone wants a mushroom I'll gladly give out babies as long as the postage is covered
Off topic….I'm loving Windows 7 just loaded it today
Hi went there, she did pretty much just as you said…. gave blood and more dicloflex and mentioned when I go back on the 9th feb that a course of allopurinol will probably be prescribedafter the gout has died down. she did mention if I wanted to take parcetamol for the pain at the same time as Dicloflex it was fine
so will have to see on the 9th
Gout is a funny one, as when I'm not in pain it's easy to put to the back of my mind and almost forget about, but when it hits you its like no other pain in the world, this time though I plan to get rid of it for good I notice today my wight has dropped 4 lbs so onwards n upwards
do you have any opinion on Kombucha?
