I have gout boo hoo!

I had to go to Aand E last night in such pain in my right big toe and foot, I couldnt think of anything I had done to it but It was so painfull!! well the doctor took one look and said thats gout that is, I thought gout was somthing old people got not when you are 30,all I can say is a big loud ooooouuuuuucccchhhh!!! I am feeling really sorry for myself and I can barely walk. so imagine the picture, a five year old with hyperactivaty and a mum that has gout what a fun day ahead!! 🙁

I know of other people our age with gout, it is not that big of a deal really. Search for anti-gout diets online and make a good of it. You should only need a prescription for the first year IF you willingly add lots of fresh fruit and veggies to your diet.

Keep a blog or paper journal of your battle and it might seem less overwhelming.

Many people with gout relive the pain in their joints with swimming and soaking in baths.

😘 Feeling sorry for your self is understandable for a few days after that gather your strength and fight this monster holding your feet down!

Thanks Sassy, I have just been put on a new diet plan by my surgery so I am about to put your advice to practice, I feel a little better this afternoon as the hospital put me on anti inflamatory drugs so hopefully I shall be up and moving again in a day or so, thanks for the message, it was just the pick me up I needed!! 😘

You had the strength in your own heart before I said a word I just reminded you it is there.

Good luck with the new eating regime, hope you feel much better soon xXx
