Can't Walk.
Oh hi,
I got off the bus today and I couldn't walk.
Somehow the gout has been getting worse. I've got it on both ankles and on my right foot toes. I've never had it in 2 spots on the same foot. I thought I was getting better, but as soon as I got off the bus in the city for work, I physically couldn't move my feet.
It was actually pretty scary. I wanted to just drop down and crawl, but I tried getting an Uber to work, it was unsuccessful. Eventually I had to go back home. It was a very painful 3 hour ordeal this morning. Looks like I'll be spending my birthday at home in bed resting. I'm going to Sydney on Monday, hopefully I can be okay to walk by then.
This can't get any worse, right?
Take care, honey bears.
Kevin
SPLINTERLAND PULLS FOR TODAY:
Quite the average day for Splinterlands. Did the Earth quest and pulled a nice manticore. They've gone up quite a bit in price. I need only a few more to max out my manticore, it's a great companion with Daria.
SPT GOAL - 4,576/100,000

Oof that sounds awful 😖 hope you’re at least a bit better soon.
Splinterlands seems to just want to give me the same quests lately, least they’ve been splinters I’ve been comfortable with 🤣 (though to make up for it I keep getting rulesets I hate 🤣)

We all got our stuff.
Mine is type 1 diabetes.
Hope yours gets better....
After reading up on gout, All those phantom stabbing pains i'm having seem to be gout related...Who knew!
Looks like the best thing to do is stop drinking to reduce Uric acid.
Once it's all healed i think i'll fibally need to succumb and take allopurinol everyday to lower my uric acid.
Life is super unproductive when you can't walk

Once a joint is attacked by gout, it can go there or anywhere. Drink cranberry juice and lots of water. You need to start taking allopurinol daily to reduce the number of attacks. If you can get colcrys take it until you have diarrhea. Attacks last about 3 days @kevinli, good luck, gout sucks.
