  Brickey...  I guess you have heard that cherries can help with a gout attack, 
fresh, canned or cherry extract in pill form.  They say gout is very painful.  
I am so sorry for your suffering.  I hope it is resolved quickly.  :)     Lola

    I am in the middle of a gout flare up concentrated in my knee. Could not 
walk or even lift my leg. First flare up in 15 years. I made 3 gallons of apple 
juice and it was turning hard. I stopped drinking my magnesium/seltzer and 
drank apple juice. Two days of this and gout flared. ER prescribed Colcrys 
which really helped. I was controlling gout by taking B6 and magnesium. Hard to 
believe that a gout flare up was so close. Last flare up was caused by drinking 
wine on sale when I was winter camping near Los Angeles. Had to drive towing my 
trailer in LA traffic with using only one leg. I think the latest flare up was 
not caused by hard cider but neglecting my daily magnesium drink.

      If you suspect gout, try to avoid foods with purines, like sardines, 
shrimp, smoked oysters, etc. That's what brought mine on.


      Be well,
