that sounds terrible Dr WC. Hopefully you don't have to pass a physical test this month.

Gout seems to be caused by most good things.


which ones are hotter?

Hopefully soon; bbq bear meat.

What is pseudo-gout? Bloodwork not back yet, so gout not confirmed, but that was the preliminary diagnosis.

Scotch collection right now is Aberlour A'bundh (or something like that) cask strength, Aberlour 16, Balvenie Double Wood, Glenrothes, Craigelachie (or something like that), Ardbeg, Laguvallan, Glen Fohdry, and Glenlivet. They are all good, though the last two are beginner's scotches, imo.

Finally got around to watching WandaVision. It's better than Loki (which itself is quite good).

Masters of the Universe Revelation is a pile of crap much like everything else Kevin Smith touches.

What are any preventative items to add to our diet that may be able to help? I know my alcohol intake should be cut down, but what else can I add or remove from my diet? Thanks in advance!

Tallisker 10 is a personal favourite.

Gout = uric acid deposits. Allopurinal and Probenecid are treatments that have different mechanics so if one doesn't seem to work,,, try the other

Pseudo gout = calcium salt deposits. There is no known "cure".... only drugs to treat the symptoms (inflammation). On the other hand, not necessarily an ongoing or lifetime problem like gout "could be". Some have pseudo without ever knowing (only shows up on xray)

Mayo Clinic gout page

Only positive for gout is that cherry juice seems to help some.

The avoidance items are easier to identify. Read up on purines HERE. BEER is a #1 avoidance. Alcohol, shellfish and some fish (salmonoids, sardines,cod) also.

Pseudo gout isn't really affected by diet.

A guy at my work swears by the following for gout prevention (along with Allopurinal): A daily glass of hot water with 1/4 cup of black cherry juice concentrate and the juice of one lemon. Apparently he was part of a study at UA and it helped him a ton.

Haven't replaced since I killed my last bottle ~4 years ago. I should.

tryin to figger out who new poaster madrobin is. He has come in hot and heavy posting up an absolute storm. I had a feeling it may b RP. Things just got interesting when he mentioned in a new thread he was from PNW

thoughts?

About 4 years ago I made my usual 10 day trip to WSOP. And consumed my usual trip food - heavy dinners, many beers, some drinks, etc.

Came back home and my middle right toe was really swollen and painful (much worse at night).. So I said "must be infected"and went so see my primary. She took a look, laughed, and said "that's gout" (we were friends so I wasn't offended) and it was - serum uric acid way over normal.

I considered allopurinol but decided to try diet modification (Mayo clinic) and giving up beer and whiskey (switched to white wine mostly) And it has worked - no problems since.

It's truly painful, but nothing like the one time I had a kidney stone. that is real agony.

Not RP. IP checked him a while back, and his IPs are almost all Seattle card rooms, but no real matches.

RP is back under a different name and posts in chat. He has a few k posts under his new SN

He’s nowhere near as prolific as previous but he’s still around

We've had a day of precious rainfall and my windows are open in July. But the mood is ruined because some clown's car alarm has been going off for the last 2 hours. How do they not have limitations programmed?

I had one patient tell me his number 1 trigger for flares was eating shrimp.

He and a bunch of other special people are doing an impressive job of flinging poo in the Vegas Covid thread in LVL

Some scorching takes in that thread, but I wouldn't recommend wading in

Def didn’t get the RP vibe. Too much of the macho and manly crap. That was never RPs style. He would just ask 30 questions in an attempt to make someone look like an idiot

Feel better garlick - sounds awful

Oh god, didn't realize that's what squid thought of me.

I don't eat hot dogs (except few times in a ballpark, or when I was young at 3 am).

And I certainly wouldn't touch free hot dogs.

LMFAO - The person in question was clearly a regular poaster at some point. As they are poasting up a storm. The hot dogs is a new post and with it brings new info. So who is this new mystery man madrobin?

Feel better Garick, I hope it completely goes away soon.

I can totally dig it. I have an alt acct Ill bust out once in a while and I do my best to not sound like me but its hard. RP seems like a very thorough person who would do same.

I read some of his posts and didn't get the RP vibe, but apparently anyone posting up a storm with strong opinion is RP-esque.

I always felt that I was posting mostly non-sense in chat thread and never gave strong opinions in the strat threads, hence why I had a lot of people who dislike me.

Do you guys even realize how much effort it was to post the way I did: to break down every post and respond accordingly? I mean dang...I was putting in more effort in those responses than probably a paid coach.

Blast from the past: poke4fun just poasted for the first time in an eon or so.

It's not the alarm manufacturers fault. The blame lies squarely with DieHard® brand batteries because they really do die hard. DieHard® is the only brand you should consider because DieHard® just retain a charge way longer than any other battery. Heard of Tesla? It's really just DieHard®. SpaceX? That's right, just DieHard®. Entire energy grid of Trinidad & Tobago... just half of a DieHard®. John McClane giving Hans Gruber the business...

Mad props to this post. Love it.

Good point. Didn’t think about that

I had a pretty good day yesterday. Won 1000 big blinds at $25/50 NL.

That's like half of a used supercar.
