Gout arthritis
What do you know of this type of arthritis that affects the joints and the kidneys. Do you or a loved one suffer of this problem?
I was told I have gout from a medical doctor. I am not sure if I believe the person or not. I have had the uric acid test and it came back as normal. I know gout has a tendency to strike those who are not hydrating enough. Ok this might be a little off but I am in the bathroom at least one every two hours. That is how much I drink in a day. I drink mostly water with some lemonade mixed in too. I make my lemonade from powder mix. I mix it light so I do not get the full amount of calories. That is one of the good things of having no taste.
I guess I will have to wait and see if I get another flare up since they say that is how you can tell if you have gout or not. Especially if your very hydrated. I am hoping that I do not have it.
Well I do eat a lot of red meat but I try to limit the amount of fat intake in my diet. I do eat a lot of fruits and veggies so I have a balanced diet. I get good daily exercise and I am trying to lose weight to lessen any impact on my joints. I think if I do have Gout it is a mild case.
