BUMP - old thread but good topic.

anyone else suffers from GOUT? my Dad has it so I got cursed with the hereditary thing.

my current attack started sunday morning 4am.. woke up with the toe pain... throughout sunday I drank about 10 glasses of water to flush it out... Monday at work and 3 litres of water later, the pain had all but diminished and the toe wasn't stiff... BUT..i got cocky and had a glass of mango juice / more like mango punch Monday evening... and bam, the pain is even worse come Tuesday morning 4am...so here I am at work today... barely able to walk and barely able to put on my dress shoes.

my plan? 3 litres of water and a cup of coffee... and NO mango juices.
