Harvard study: Eating nuts may make you live longer

[Mister D]

Mr D testing uric acid once is meaningless, next week your uric acid level can go up and create the crystals that enflame your joints. How many times have you had the gout ? and just so you have something to look foward too it gets worse as you age. I didnt get my first gout attack until I was 56

It was in the midst of an attack. The doc said I didn't meds. He also said the science is unclear. They really don't know what ultimately causes gout. I had it twice. About 4 years apart.

Umm I disagree with that dr, uric acid creates crystals that are sharp on all edges that lodge in your joints. It can be any joint, elbow, knee, feet, shoulder. Those razor like crystals create horrid pain as they do dmg to your joints. There is medicine to keep uric acid down Allopurinol and medicine to help dissapate the crystals once you have it. Colchinine. Theres another prevention medication I forget the name.

Both medicines have worked for me in the past. An orthopaedic dr told me the same thing when I went to him for knee pain and he read my xrays and said you have the gout. Since age 56 Ive gotten the gout 5 times and it SUCKS
