Drink an 8 ounce glass of Dark Cherry Juice, as soon as it starts. It works wonders and does so quickly. Has to be the dark. If you can not find just the juice, I have found that you can get a can of dark cherries (normally used for pie filling) and eat that and it does just as well. Something in it breaks up the acid crystals that cause all the pain. Try it now and thank me later! (grin) TM
Some mornings, it just does not feel worth it to chew through the straps!~

I have only had gout once, in one of my toes. It hurt, but not as much as the medication they gave me for it!

Indomethacin and colchicine are your friends. Drink as much water as you can hold.
I wouldn't wish gout on Obama.

Drink 32 oz of cherry juice and a gallon of water every day until it subsides.
I've had it 3 times, last bout was during Christmas vacation.

I suffered from that stuff for several years, would miss at least a week every year from it. Doc put me on Allopurinol and haven't had a bout since. Sure worked for me.

Don't stop eating cherries / drinking cherry juice just because gout symptoms subside. The purine crystals don't just show up and go away -- they stay there and can cause significant joint damage, even without an acute attack.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, or some such... FWIW, Dutch.

I have some gout pain most days even with daily doses of Allopurinal. Cherrie juice or cherries in any form do seem to help. Some think rasberries and blueberries help also but, it is not as well proven. If cherry juice is too tart; it mixes well with other liquids even beer.

Uloric is a new FDA approved drug, and has far exceeded Allopurinol in controlling my gout. I never, EVER, want to have to take Colchicine again. rb

Haven't had an episode in years but that is the most pain I have ever experienced. I can pop some allapurinol and it only lasts for about 8-10 hours. Had it in BOTH big toes once. I hadda crawl on my knees, keeping my toes from touching the ground, into the bathroom so I could piss in the bathtub.

Had a brief encounter with it when I played soccer/rugby in College. Lots of drinking going on after all those matches. Benched me for about a month. Definitely ranks in the top 3 for most painful.
