Any updates on what is causing it or anything? If you don't care sharing, obviously.
Wasn’t taking the right meds and I wasn’t great at taking the old ones because I weighed so much more and I was abusing alcohol the last time this was an issue.

Lotta words to say I was being an idiot. Take your meds folks. Even if you’re young and healthy. You don’t know better than medical professional.

Ah ok. I take a pill for gout, plus a men's one a day, a vitamin d, and 1000mg of vitamin c daily. Best thing I found is a pill container for the week sitting somewhere where you always notice it, and make it a routine to do it like as soon as you wake up in the morning. Mine sits right on top of the fridge where as soon as I walk up to do anything in the fridge in the morning I see it as a reminder to take them. I like the fridge as placement because you visit it so often throughout the day, so even if you forget on a trip to it, you go back to it often and/or randomly walk up to it and stand with the door open like us guys like to do. :laugh: I also make it a point that on Saturday when it's empty for the week, as soon as I take my pills for Saturday, I refill all 7 days for the start of the week on Sunday morning. It has become second nature now to just walk in the kitchen when I wake up, grab some water/OJ/coffee, and immediately pop the day open on the pill container and take them.

Sounds a lot better than getting diagnosed with something new, at least.

Me too. I eat mostly clean and take allopurinol every day, but I still get a flare up every now and then. I can usually pound water and Advil to keep it minor.

I've been dealing with it since my late 20's. I'll be 39 in October. Hereditary and passed down from my Dad, unfortunately. I take allopurinol daily, also. Haven't had a flareup in 3 years since I've been on it.

Same timeframe for me. I’m 41. My maternal grandfather had it.

I just can’t handle some sauces, like spaghetti with ground beef or Indian qorma. Two of my favorites that I try maybe once a year and it’s like playing Russian roulette

Been really into golf this summer. Playing 2-3 times a week. Funny how being in Vermont has pushed me to get out more than ever because I know itll be gone soon enough :(

Going to Nashville the last weekend of October and just discovered I can't buy Preds tickets because they're restricted to residents of their TV market.

:rolleyes:

They do that for the regular season, too?

I wonder if that's just a restriction on Chicagolanders, as the biggest appeal for Nashville in the NHL is being an apparently great road market for players and fans alike to visit. Blocking tourist money for a regular season game seems especially dumb.

Yeah, for 5 "Gold Games"

Leafs
Rangers
Red Wings
Hawks x2

Guess Nashville doesn't like tourism money. Whatever.

I'll be interested if, in the next CBA negotiations, Nashville is one of the teams crying poor over a lack of revenue whilst voluntarily limiting the demand for some of their games.
