Cozynana	Posted - Jan 28 2010 : 11:37:14 AM You know, just a shot in the dark, but my reflexologist told me gout (pain in the big toe) is thyroid related. I have had thyroid diagnosed by 4 different sources and she is the only one that connected the toe pain to thyroid. Might check it out if you haven't found a solution to your problem.

dutchy	Posted - Dec 25 2009 : 05:08:52 AM T. Yes I have read that too. My sis in law was one of the 10 % of women that had it. Hugs from Marian/Dutchy, a farmgirl from the Netherlands :) My personal blog: http://just-me-a-dutch-girl.blogspot.com/ Almost daily updates on me and mine :)
StarMeadow	Posted - Dec 25 2009 : 05:02:16 AM My brother had gout. It is 90% confined to men... I hope it's not RA. Could just be osteo arthritis. When mine flares, it feels as if I've been running on rocks barefoot. Hang in there. The first flares are the worst.
maggie14	Posted - Dec 24 2009 : 1:54:14 PM I will be praying that she is wrong about Rheumatoid rthrist. Please keep is posted on how you are doing!! Hugs, Channah If you can dream it, and if you are willing to put forth the work and effort, you can have anything you envision.
dutchy	Posted - Dec 24 2009 : 1:49:57 PM I thought I had updated, sorry!! It is NOT the gout PTL! But now the dr. is thinking it might be Rheumatoid Arthritis. It is in my famliy, mo mom had it, her aunt had it bad and brother has it too plus Fibromyalgia. In about two weeks time the dr. want to do the neccesarry bloodtests to see whether ity really IS Rheumatoid. I won't worry about that before I know for sure though. She was wrong about the gout too, duh!! Thanks for all the well wishes :) Hugs from Marian/Dutchy, a farmgirl from the Netherlands :) My personal blog: http://just-me-a-dutch-girl.blogspot.com/ Almost daily updates on me and mine :)
Annika	Posted - Dec 24 2009 : 1:25:41 PM Hugs to you Marian (((((Hugs))))) Sorry to hear that you have the gout...not fun at all...Take care and a very Happy Christmas too...DO drink the cherry juice, I know that it helps, one of my friends and therapists has it and is doing good now that he drinks it. Look up the gout diet, what you eat and drink really will get you if you are un-aware =) Love girl! take care Annika Farmgirl & sister #13 Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. ~Leonardo DaVinci
vtstevens	Posted - Dec 24 2009 : 11:47:04 AM Marian, I am sorry you have gout. there are simple, safe medications your doctor can prescribe that will keep it well under control. there are also dietary guidelines you can follow that will greatly reduce your gout symptoms and attacks. Go online and lookup "gout diet". These are well known, reliable guidelines to follow, what you eat or don't eat vastly affects whether or not you will get symptoms. all my best to you, I will pray for a painfree, comfortable and Merry Christmas for you!!

dutchy	Posted - Dec 17 2009 : 07:43:02 AM Thanks, I CAN get cherry juice plenty here too. And yes it IS very painful :( Hugs from Marian/Dutchy, a farmgirl from the Netherlands :) My personal blog: http://just-me-a-dutch-girl.blogspot.com/ Almost daily updates on me and mine :)
momshopsalotta	Posted - Dec 17 2009 : 06:47:58 AM Roxy is right, they do not have to be bing cherries and cherry juice is great as well, it's just in the US canned cherries are pleantiful. Cherry juice is sold online by the major vitemin and suppliment chains.
Roxy7	Posted - Dec 17 2009 : 06:43:02 AM Drink cherry juice and drink a lot of water. I dont think it has to be bing chery specifically. My DHhas gout too. Its so painful. Hope you feel better sooon! http://www.arthritis-treatment-and-relief.com/foods-that-help-gout.html http://arthritis.about.com/od/gout/a/foodstoeat.htm - note to eat chocolate!

dutchy	Posted - Dec 17 2009 : 03:12:18 AM Connie, they are not here, but will other canned cherries help too? Might have a look in our small mom and pop, see what they have. Thanks anyways :) Hugs from Marian/Dutchy, a farmgirl from the Netherlands :) My personal blog: http://just-me-a-dutch-girl.blogspot.com/ Almost daily updates on me and mine :)
momshopsalotta	Posted - Dec 17 2009 : 03:06:04 AM Dutchy, Eat canned bing cherrys. Not cherry pie filling but canned cherrys. They do wonders for the pain of gout.
