He swore by it for reducing or minimizing his attacks.
It seems to get worse at night....
Me whole foot has swelled up now.....I'll try to get to see my Doctor tomorrow....Some hope....
I've put cherries on my shopping list thanks Morty....

Thoughts folks would take kindlier to his agony if he shared the "disease of kings".
Doesn't remove the pain, but hope it makes you smile.
BTW, now I've seen both of your feet nekkid, I feel a closer bond to you.

Re: Gout! Again....
Gosh Foxy, that looks SO painful
I don't know anything about gout except I knew a chap who had it, who said it was agony sometimes - and he was a couch potato type, so apart from the pain you feel, it must be agonising for you not to be out running.
I can almost feel your 'trappedness' being unable to do your runs.
Interesting to read simple cherries can help gout. Let's hope it works for you - not to mention whatever suitable medication to send it on it's way. Anything is worth taking if it helps you get up and running free again isn't it?
