Have you had ever tested your Uric Acid level tested? If its Gout you need to treat it, long term effects are nothing to ignore. I have to take meds. to keep my Gout level below 5.
http://www.gout.com/#/what-is-gout I get gout every few years. A long time ago the doctor I had at the time wanted me to take colchizine and alapurinol every day to prevent it. Find out what those things can do to your system and say screw that. I keep some colchizine handy for if I get an attack (which doesn't happen if I watch what I eat), but as for taking that stuff daily? No way.
