seasons greetings from Dublin,
I have?tolerated for?30 years of intermittent attacks of gout, however in the last 12 months these have developed into “Major League/Premiership” propotions.? This is after a fall resulting in surgery on my Rotator Cuff and Shoulder.? Could this be the reason for the upsurge?
Six weeks ago, before?I found this amazing Forum,?I walked into an ambush,?namely Allopurinol? and all hell broke loose for the?two weeks that followed.
I know now, thanks to you good people to try again in the New Year, this time?I will? be? more prepared.
This brings me to another question, I have Haemochromatosis also,?I have read on other?Sites that we should not be prescribed Allopurinol with this complaint.? Any advice is welcome, thanks Delboy??
Wow, what is interesting to me is that HIGH IRON can be a cause of GOUT or?Iron is?a contributor?( i think anyways)
?
Do you know what your Uric Acid level is ?? Perhaps you do not need Allopurinol?
?
However, I think you are correct, i've read you should avoid that drug.
?
Perhaps you are a ideal candidate? for Uloric, of course the key is what is your UA Level ?
Haemachromiasis is apparently the most common undiagnosed [genetic] disease in europe.
I read it up last year, after getting?a lot of gout and fatigue etc but was told that untill you see copper flecks in the eye iris colour it's not a problem. This sounds a bit late in the day for me, but?I was surprised at the newspaper report on its prevalence.
There is indeed, relatively, a 'lot of it about' as is often said by Docs. Whatever, ?:)
High iron is?on the bad to have list for gout- one reason why younger women?stay clear of gout, too.
Hopefully, you will get some test figures on SUA and also fill us in more on the progress of the iron excess -as for gouties, this has to be an interesting connection.
Uriscorics may be one answer?

A good argument for blood letting therapy?
