I sympathise—it’s sodding painful. Trouble is, I’m not sure you’re ever actually clear of it; even if you deal with the current flare-up, whatever problem leads to the excess of uric acid remains—and I suspect that’s generally metabolic rather than dietary, or we’d _all_ suffer. ---

In my case, it is (most specifically) iatrogenic, joe. My metabolism, like that of every ancestor I can find and all my siblings and cousins and aunts and uncles, is not prone to gout; never a case in the family. Unfortunately they tended to die of their heart packing up in their fifties or sixties; I have failed to die, but the medication you get given when you have had a heart attack is one which is known to cause gout – and so do all the other medications which do the same job. So I am stuck with medicine to counteract the medicine; I just hope that it doesn’t have side-effects for which I will in due course need another medication, and so on. I was slightly worried to be told by the GP that “we are being instructed to be more aggressive in our treatment of gout”; visions of amputation, and I am quite fond of my right foot really. ---

That looks delicious, Soo , as was my Afternoon Tea, but I didn’t take pictures Assorted Sandwiches on good local bread, with a decent amount of filling Little cakes & fruit tarts, again made on the premises Scones wiv jam & cream for friend but plain for me, as the young waitress hadn’t realised my penchant for Cheese Scones I committed sacrilege by drinking a large Cappucino with 2 extra shots **in the afternoon** & also had a bottle of very good ginger beer & 2 glasses of Eau de Tap I was offered Wine, or Prosecco, but as my friend was driving, I wasn’t going to be mean Medicinal Summat now, methinks, wiv Gin fer Soo Carinthia.xx Carinthia.xx ---

> [@Carinthia](#): > > I do like the proposed new symbols, Dunnock So do I - a perfect example of the hyperbollocks to which we are now subjected. An elderly friend of ours has been regaling us with the tale of how her PC told her that some of her ‘drivers’ needed replacing and she willingly handed over her credit card details to ‘them’ in order to buy the new ‘drivers’… She has now cancelled her credit card with her bank and has a Good Techie arriving this arvo to check things out. This was just a chance conversation - how many people are being swindled/defrauded, one wonders. Soo xx ---
