As if things weren't bad enough

So just to make things a little more interesting the big man upstairs has decided to through a loop hole into my trip.. I'm starting to have a Gout attack (it's Bubba's fault, appearantly I'm a closer relative of his than anyone else) Whoever says it's diet and red meat that are the cause is nuts. I haven't even seen red meat in 10 days. Just an annoyance so far but we'll see how it goes.

  1. Well that stinks. What are the chances of finding some cherry juice over there. Hang in there only a couple days left.

  2. I hear curry is good for gout. Not long to go now.

  3. I'm sure you already know this, but you've got to push fluids in a major way. Drink all the water (preferably bottled) that you can. I'll sniff around and see what other tips I can come up with for you. Take it easy !

  4. Adding lemon to your water will make it even more effective by increasing your vitamin c level, which helps dissolve uric acid crystals. Also, if the hotel has apples or bananas, they too will help ease gout naturally. Good luck -be glad when you're home!
