 Topic: Not a fun week
Posted: 6 hours 43 minutes ago at 2:50pm |

Started with a sensitive ankle early last week, did not remember over articulating or stressing, just woke up achy with it.. Tues it flared UGLY, moved around some settling at Big Toe. Tried a NSAID, got me thru Wed/Thur but came right back responding like sprained ankle so have and have instructions installed KTTape(Kinesiology) that a PT tech set me on. Worked until this morning so went to local clinic. Tuna salad three time for lunches and one dinner, smoked Ham three more with Beef Roast at least twice for dinner and stuffed peppers last night, burger and sausage for meat.
Sarah asked of my diet, alcohol intake then arthritis levels. Looked me square in the eyes(she has Dreamy Eyes) told me suffering Gout attack. Great, just what I do not need.

It’s all about water intake over a few days. Gout is calcium deposits buildup in the joint. You probably went a few days without drinking enough water. A week’s worth of water to the point you wear out the zipper in your pants and be good as new

Thanks!
Sarah was a little more blunt!
Lose 40-50lbs, cut out the heavy meat diet or cut it down, also EET MO CHIKN!!
Drink Gallons of water and use NSAIDS prolifically to which let her know what my metabolism does to pain aids. She laughed telling me I am so screwed. Great Clinic at Cape Mercy, glad not going to be staying long.

They say red meat but I never cut back on it. It’s really just a flushing thing. As long as there is enough moisture to carry away the calcium diet doesn’t matter as much

Its not calcium,its uric acid. And it comes basically from every food that tastes good: alcohol, red meat, but chicken too, sardines plus oatmeal and cauliflower. Hydrate hydrate hydrate but being mature is the biggest risk factor

Many years ago at the DocInTheBox I was sent to for my annual DOT physical the Dr. ask how often I ate red meat. My reply was at least twice a day, often 3 times a day. Then she berated me that I needed to start eating more fish and many other inedible foods. I looked her straight in the eye (after guessing she was in the 300 pound range or better) and told her that what I have been doing for myself seems to be working better for me than whatever she has been doing for herself and I didn't think she had cause to school me on my dietary choices. She couldn't stamp my medical card fast enough. I still weigh about 130 some maybe 30 years later. My waist isn't a big around as one of her thighs would have been. Whatever works for you, go with it.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY
