just had an attack 2 weeks ago...this is how i fought it with success.
June 21 - 8pm - severe swelling, pain in my big toe / right foot. unbearable.
June 22 - woke up to full on gout attack. drank 10 glasses of water.
June 23 - gout attack still on - calmed it a bit via ADVIL pain killers. drank 10 glasses of water. put ice on the toe.
June 24 - gout attack still on - purchased a huge bag of cherries - ate about 40 a day - drank 10 glasses of water.
June 25 - ate another 40 cherries, drank 10 glasses of water - gout attack still on. more ice on the toe.
June 26 - continued usage of ADVIL on days when pain was unbearable - drank 10 glasses of water and about 20 cherries
June 27 - gout attack slowly decreasing - swelling and pain in toe almost gone. drank 10 glasses of water
June 28 - GOUT attack OVER - full mobility, no problems no pain.
So.. a week of agony vs on average, 3 weeks..i'll take that! i did not go see a doctor but at the end of the day, I know my body can tell me quickly to stop eating shit that will lead to another attack- so i'm careful... and will continue the 10 glasses of water everyday. YES i peed alot..but thats a good thing.
