Have you tried Cider Vinegar ?.

I used to get it until they started me on the hormone drugs 5 years ago. Never had it since! Maybe a bit radical though :-)
Just came up with a new Drug that does not have any side effect (well this told to me by my Doctor) Its called Prednisone and by all reports seems to be a good thing!
Cheers

Information specific to: Prednisolone 2.5mg gastro-resistant tablets .
Prednisolone (Pred-nisso-loan) is a medicine which is used in a number of conditions such as arthritis, The information in this Medicine Guide for Prednisolone varies according to the condition being treated and the particular preparation used.
Your medicine
Prednisolone is a corticosteroid. Prednisolone works by preventing or reducing inflammation. It is used to treat a number of conditions that are characterised by excessive inflammation.
Prednisolone suppresses the immune system and so can be used to treat autoimmune diseases. Prednisolone can help to prevent and to treat the rejection of transplanted organs. It can also be used in the treatment of certain types of cancers.
People who take corticosteroids for a long period of time are prone to infections as their immune system can become weak. These infections may be much more severe than they usually would be and the symptoms that would usually be used to identify such infections can be hidden. For this reason people who take Prednisolone must be careful to avoid exposure to infections such as chickenpox and measles whenever possible. If you have been exposed to chickenpox or measles, you must get immediate medical advice. You should continue to take your medicine unless your prescriber advises you to stop taking it.
Other information about Prednisolone:
•if you have been given a steroid warning card, make sure you carry it with you at all times while you are taking corticosteroids. These cards are normally given to you by your prescriber or by your pharmacist. If you are currently taking corticosteroids, or have taken them in the last year, you must tell everyone involved in prescribing you medicines and giving you medical treatment. This includes your doctor, dentist, nurse and pharmacist. You must make sure that they all know about your corticosteroid treatment.
Do not share your medicine with other people. It may not be suitable for them and may harm them.
The pharmacy label on your medicine tells you how much medicine you should take. It also tells you how often you should take your medicine. This is the dose that you and your prescriber have agreed you should take. You should not change the dose of your medicine unless you are told to do so by your prescriber.
If you feel that the medicine is making you unwell or you do not think it is working, then talk to your prescriber.

Prednisolone is not suitable for everyone and some people should never use it. Other people should only use it with special care. It is important that the person prescribing this medicine knows your full medical history.

Bu in most cases you can get tablets to off set the side effects. Problem is you end up taking ten just for the one,Quote:

Hopefully will be ok.
Gout does bloody hurt though.
Happy Days.
