Hi Analee - my hubby is on the way to having his gout controlled. Thanks for asking. He's got a pre-Alopurinol appointment coming up fairly soon. Until then, he's up and down, having waves of pain which he hits on the head with anti-inflammatories, before they come back again. Nothing severe, but enough to rather wreck his life at the moment and mine through worrying. I just hope I can put this out of my mind tonight and catch up on last night's missed sleep. Zzzzz.......
