Keith : Thank you very much. Since starting with this site my knowledge and appreciation of gout has increased substantially.
I am discussing all these items with my Dr. and would not undertake any substantial self medication or without his knowledge.

What are your thoughts about taking Colchine for say as long as, you/we/dr (tests), it takes for my uric acid to drop substantially . The literature Ihave read on this drug makes me a tad uneasy /

Thank you for getting back. I did my profile but guess I didn’t save it. I have now updated My profile. The reason I am on Warfarin is that I have blood clot in my arm
and they are trying to disolve it and it may take 3-4 months or so. I slowly started getting gout ( I know it usually comes on fast but witj me I can usually tell
a day or so before that an attack is coming ) about 8 days ago and would have immediately taken my meds but could not so I just had to let it run its course. The most
pain I’ve been in for several years !! It has lessened now and will see my Dr today. He has suggested Colchicine but I understand this is only good at the intial attack of gout or within 48 hours ? I would like to go on Allaperone (?) but don’t want to start anything like that until I am able to take my diclofenac as I understand I could easily get an attack or 2 when starting the Allaperone.

So yeah…. any comments or suggestions from anyone would really be a big help.

Regards george
