I was disabled for 3-4 days on crutches because the gout locked up in my knee which was a first. Its not a funny thing for sure but after I have to laugh at myself! As soon as I can feel a weird twitch or feeling in my foot I start hammering the prescription and stay close to a washroom until it subsides  . When on shift I pack a lunch in the morning and 2 extra pair of underwear just in case! |
If you have gout avoid MSG,gravy mixes,soup mixes,canned food,soups,kraft dinner mix ,it's in all kinda foods,steak spices have it,Plus I know a guy when he has MSG his anxiety takes right off,bad for your heart.
Lotsa people with gout have high uric acid and MSG elevates it bad,it's pretty well in all food packages.Chinese food ask for no msg.
