Thor, I have had gout since I was thirty. Too many years have passed even to mention...:>) It is totally controllable hereditary disease with proper diet.
Give up the alcohol or at least only in moderation. I love sardines but they will guarantee a gout attack. Rich meaty foods can also cause a goat attack. In fact any high protein food rich in purine. All of these foods tax the liver and it's ability process waste. Gout is a build up of uric acid in the blood stream and the crystal that may from from it in the joints. Avoid aspirin for the pain because it is also acidic. Drink lots of water every day and especially if you sense an attack. The key to control is simple.....don't let the blood go acidic and dilute it a lot of water if it does. Take two acetaminophen and call me in the morning. The bills in the mail... hawke On 8/26/02 9:06 PM, "Thor Metzinger" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Last week was HELL.... > > Found out at the age of 30 that I have gout...(an icepick in both ankles!) > On top of that my battery died.... > > Replaced my battery (too bad i cant replace my ankles)...anyway... > the funniest thing happened... > > That Throttle lag that i had at 3-4K rpm...has vanished. > > Now...I have no clue why. > Maybe the Chip needed to maintain a strong current, and when my battery was > dying maybe it was interfering with my ECU, until the revs picked up enough to > counteract my battery drain in the electrical system.....who knows... > > But now, with a brand new sealed battery my GTS starts in the blink of an eye. > Lag has vanished .....weird, Ill keep searching for it. > > THOR
