    Sorry to hear you have that pain.. I have never taken that but I think many of those types of drugs can have some side effects, especially if you don't drink lots of liquids..

    I drink copious amts of water daily, so not sure why the beer did it, but it sure did. We had gotten a six pack of a local microbrew's dark ale. I had three over the course of three days. Woke up about 2am and felt as though my foot was on fire. Hobbled downstairs in agony, turned on the light, took one look at it and thought "Oh fuck, gout." Couldn't sleep the rest of the night. If I could've gotten back up the stairs I would've had Mr. Owl take me to the ER, it was that bad. Called Walgreens' Doc-on-the-Phone in the morning and got a script for indomethacin, an NSAID. Within two hours after the first dose the pain was gone. Got it again a couple weeks later, after having a dark beer at a restaurant with dinner. This time when the precursor aching started, I took the NSAID right off so it didn't get as bad. Haven't had a beer since, nor any gout. Oh yeah, I tried the cherry juice too, but it didn't do much.

    I hope yours never comes back!!

    You might ask your doc about giving you a script for indomethacin. It's an NSAID, non-opioid, and it knocks the gout pain out just like that.

    I hope you don't either. Bill's right about the hereditary stuff; my older brother gets gout off and on and has for years. He doesn't drink alcohol so we figure it must be something else.

    I have an extremely high tolerance to pain killers. They gave me a very high dose of Dilaudid every 2 hours when I had my last surgery and it just took the edge off the pain. I was asking for it before it was time for the next dose more often than not. I did have a script for indomethacin some time back, but haven't taken them for years.
    The Oxys sometimes don't even do much at all unless I take them on an empty stomach and they don't do much for the Neuropathy because it's mostly nerve pain. I just have to get used to it.
    One good thing is I no longer need to take anything for diabetes, I've been watching what I eat and my A1C has been in the low 6's the last 3 blood tests.
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    That is good news on the A1C, congratulations!

    You're right; opioids don't do much for nerve pain. They generally prescribe Lyrica or gabapentin for that. Some ppl get weird side effects from those though. My youngest has MS but cannot tolerate those meds. at all.

    First time I had it I took that & w/in an hour in a half I could feel my toe start to tingle as the raging/throbbing started to subside..

    They say each time you get it you become more sensitive??

    Surprised that lots of water does not slush it out... It accumulates in joints & fat in tissue..

    Did it run in the family?? I think some ppl are more prone..

    You always forget all those colds, & even the flu, but you can always remember the first time you meet mr gout..lol
