The doctor didn’t even think to pull back the sheet or hospital gown. 😉 (maybe I should ask for refund) Well, did he/she need to do that to see your big toe? or was it affecting somewhere more private? Perhaps you should drink less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing was I learned that they call the Big Toe, the Great Toe….who knew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've had more than one episode you should be on a preventive agent per current guidelines. Should know your uric acid level too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know nothing about the guy other than what you posted. Has he recanted? Has he apologized? If this is true, he should. edit: Looks like he made his opinions known to a house committee a couple days ago https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Testimony-of-Dr.-Kristian-Andersen.pdf Hans C. Andersen died in 1875, so I don't think it was him. I read through the manifesto, and it's helpful to understand his persepective on the big picture. It's obviously self-serving to a large degree, so that must be considered as well. He also seems to have a bit of a God complex and clearly doesn't appreciate being judged for his actions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should know your uric acid level too Thanks So far it was a one time thing…at least until the next time. Had all the blood work done repeatedly and all my levels are back down to normal. I’m guessing it popped up after some slight changes following my recent retirement. I’m very happy to be back to ‘normal’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was more for assigning blame. Yeah, but it gives a whole "Contagion" angle to it, which psychologically screws with the emotions of the masses.

But who wants a self doubter treating them for a potentially fatal illness? There's a balance there. However, one of my individual pet peeves is educated and supposedly learned people who are emotionally soft. It's difficult for me to trust them, and this guy falls into that category. Spare me the 'woe is me' BS, spare me how you and yours should be considered beyond reproach, and get to the point. People were mean to you. Toughen the %$# up. 14 minutes ago, SoCal Deek said: It was actually the second toe. Yeah, I’ve cut back on alcohol (although I never drank much to begin with) and red meat. Funny thing was I learned that they call the Big Toe, the Great Toe….who knew? True story. When one loses control or feeling in the Great Toe, it's referred to as Toelio. Ok that's not true, but it should be. I heard that gout can be very, very painful. Hope you feel better soon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Measures that have been used for 100's of years and until recently, not studied in depth.

Joe Ferguson forever Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) Perhaps not as definitive as "Flashback Friday" but the arthritis Foundation says this https://www.arthritis.org/health-wellness/healthy-living/nutrition/healthy-eating/are-cherries-cure-for-gout# Until more is known, a specific cherry regimen isn’t advised. But many agree that for overall health and as a possible tool in managing gout, a handful of cherries, especially a tart variety such as Montmorency, or a glass of cherry juice every day can’t hurt. 3 hours ago, BillStime said: Nut job Good thing Dustin Hoffman (Ashkkenazi) took the vax!
