Morning everyone. Well we made it to May. New month, new theme at Paradise. Man this year is flying by. On the bright side I'm one day closer to freedom. But speaking of that freedom I'm in a rush. It's raining and flooding here so the commute to work is going to be a long one. I need to get going. Have a fabulous day everyone. Muladzh, I hope you are feeling better soon. My father suffers with gout so I know how painful it is.

Re: April Springtime Chatter and Gossip
When I first had gout, it lasted for over two weeks, giving me agony all the time, my toes swelled to giant size, could not get them into any footwear, and even air movement hurt. This prompted me to research everything I could - being a researcher and author helps with that, if I get the urge, I will research something until I know everything there is to know about it. Gout unfortunately is, like most medical conditions, the subject of conflicting research. Trying most of the things the medical profession will throw at gout makes the pain rather worse, the swelling more and the anger and misery far worse. Some of the herbal remedies work well, but take a few days to get into the swing of it. By far the best way of dealing with it is dietary. By cutting out high purine foods, and aiming at low oxalate things, gout can be knocked down in a day. This morning after having eaten a pound of frozen cherries yesterday, with tart cherry juice drink, a couple of yoghurts, and potatoes, the gout is quite reduced, making life much better - I have to keep up the good foods for another couple of days and it will have gone completely.. Gout is horrible.
