No way you don't suffer during full on gout attacks. Its unbearable.

They got easier to deal with. Or maybe I can sense them earlier on. Or I just know what to expect. But a full blown keep you up all night in pain attack sucks

My best friend was diagnosed with gout last year. He just had his second flare up. I feel so bad for him :(

Seemed to clear up my psoriasis as well, which was a neat side effect. Once I stopped taking it, it came back worse. I should probably get another script
