Is there any pain worse than gout?

Ooh nurse :wink:

Had my kidney stones smashed to bits by an ultrasound treatment. Was â– â– â– â– â– â– â–  chalk for a day after that, but the damned peanut-shaped thing never came back after that.

A friend of mine who used to get gout attacks often - cut out Sugar and alcohol, especially jellies (eg. Fruit Gums) and wines (Port in particular) and now he only gets a couple of bouts of it a year, usually around Christmas and Easter.
The suggestion is that diet has a lot to do with it.

Diet,Yes
No Sugar. No Pasta, No potato, No Bread, No Pastries, No :grimacing: Well, Simple said no Carbs and no Protein. Posted once a List which was delated. Maybe the Mod keeps that for himself :grimacing:
