I guess I’m officially old now

Owww. You have my sympathy. Have had both, not at the same time. Shingles seems to come and go at random. Gout I’ve been able to control long term by eating less meat, especially seafood, more veggies.
Why don’t you go for the hat trick and herniate a disk?
The weather is trying its best to get me to throw my back out. Still, the four inches of sleet we got yesterday didn’t break me.
Naproxen, otc in Ontario…instant relief for gout
Thanks for the tip but naproxen never works for me, even if I take double the recommended dose. Tylenol and aspirin also don’t work. The only thing that works for me and both my kids is ibuprofen.
But a road trip to Ontario sounds like a good time.
Started getting gout flares a few years ago even though I eat a mostly plant-based diet and slowed my drinking down. Finally got on Allopurinol this year and it has been a miracle! Gout pain is no fucking joke.
Thanks for the tip. I get them every six months or so without much change in my diet so I might get on allopurinol in the future.
Sounds like a Jim E. Brown song
I’m just now finally getting over a gout attack in my shoulder. Those can get rough.
Luckily it’s just my big toe. But it makes me walk funny.
I opted for corrugated metal and sciatica, personally.
Last Christmas I had Jingles and trout.
