Apart from the public holidays, no break here.
Someone has to keep the wheels of industry turning…

Me too - sitting at my desk now reconciling the AMEX statement

Why does the whole of Australia rely on you and me @Spargo?

Many are called, but few are chosen…

I'm on the wagon for a month so nothing else to do. I was in at 7.30!
If I stay home Mrs Jimmy will find me some gardening to do

Arthrexin (active ingredient Indometacin) is working a treat.

Bonus is that not only is it a good treatment for acute gout, but also the severe osteoarthritis I have in both knees, so have now got a stockpile to last a while.

Hooray, I can get some sleep tonight.

I got a BIG bout of gout last night
For whatever reasons my go to drug for great pain relief is Prednesilone
But
For whatever reasons the docs are loathe to prescribe me Prednesilone any more

Today i paid a visit to the GP
PLAN A
I told the that Prednesilone was magical - Ive run out and .....
GP said they wont write a prescription
PLAN B
Having read that Dedja got relief from Arthrexin- I asked for it
GP agreed

Prednisolone is a steroid. They give to kids in liquid form for croup, people who suffer from Alopecia take it, and yes it’s very effective in treating gout attacks. Long term use though can have serious side effects.

Going back to work on Monday.

Only really hit me today, was getting quite used to not being at work!

Mind you Im back for 2 weeks and then off again for 2 more.

Correct Dr Spargo
Spot on

Im having a very comfortable pain free night so far on Arthrexin, I owe that to my geat mate Dedja

[another grub]

watch the side effects.... i woke up fcked...... may have been the 20 beers ....not sure

[dedja]

My gout initially settled with Arthrexin then became acute again and is still evident over 2 weeks later … bottom line, Arthrexin was pretty much useless, it’s just an anti-inflammatory, nothing else.

Have now been prescribed Panafcortelone (prednisolone) so hopefully that will fully knock it on the head. As it’s just my 3rd episode in 20 years it’s been treated as acute, not chronic so no ongoing medication required.

Dear mal, I’m definitely not your mate, claiming so is extremely disingenuous.

[am Bays]

Apach’es got stacks of Ivermectin from the Covid days he’s looking to get rid of, that might help you!

Arthrexin works for me when I feel it coming on, needs to be within a few hours of the pain coming on, usually gets rid of it for me, its no good once it takes hold of you I find. My wife has some prednisolone and I have grabbed the odd tablet from time to time to assist.

[dedja]

Yeah, it was well and truly acute by the time I started using it. It did seem to help somewhat towards the end, but by that time I had been suffering for over 2 weeks.

The bonus is that Arthrexin and prednisolone are both good for my knee osteoarthritis, so will be handy if I have any future flare ups there.

GOUT
Have you guys had a fasting blood test ?
That will show your uric acid levels
If its close to 6 you will really need to modify diets , as a re-attack could be highly likely
If its close to 4 the next attack could be later than sooner
