[QUOTE="Star*, post: 507545, member: 4964"] I don't know much about Gout.....The guy I work with has it. He's in a lot of pain limping, and hobbling around some days. Then he'll eat right, take his medicine,and seem to be better - NOT what I could say is walking tall. I think it must be very painful, and sometimes he forgets things - like he ate bread on a sandwhich and then said "Oh no - I wasn't supposed to eat that - I'll pay for that for sure." and I'm thinking HOW could you forget NOT to eat something that is going to make you so much in pain? In his case - he's in a hurry, he has little money - he's hungry - it was there. He didn't think. Not all legitimate excuses for sure - but I could see where you could forget for the moment. Especially if he hasn't had an episode yet that has really taken him to the ground in pain enough to make him reel with discomfort enough to say "OH GOLLY NEVER AGAIN." but then - when does THAT happen? And why? I'm kinda in the same camp Nancy is on this one. I think it would be hard to be or remain so tight to a schedule that you couldn't mess up and make yourself ever be in pain. I do know that there are patient assistant programs but I don't know if Gout medications are covered. Our guy said there are no generics. So I'm not sure medications are affordable - or if he just meant for his particular medication, I do know I don't want anyone being in pain around me....so maybe he really needs some better education about Gout - and a good dietitian to show him what he CAN enjoy and go from there. I'm pre-diabetic and I watch my sugar and I have been extra good and near perfect for two years - but then there was that Krispy Kreme......and well - I knew it was bad - and I knew I would get the headache - and YUP I did it anyway. In some ways it was worth it. lol. In some ways not - because I got a stupit kreme filled doughnut and they FORGOT - FORGOT the cream. Can you believe that? OMG I was livid. lol - serves me right.
