jondoefour Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Packy, :My doctor in PNS just prescribed NABUMETONE 750MG tablets. I use ALTACE for the blood pressure. Before he'd scripted me indomethycin(sp). I'm in PTTY the first couple days of Oct. Fly out of PNS on the 13th sept. Glad to eat breakfast one day over on soi chaiyapoon.

Coss Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Something you might want to look into taking is diclofenac sodium. It can be used for gout and is a real good anti-inflammatory. A strip of ten can be bought for 28 baht. If you need quick relief, use diclofenac potassium which is the same active ingredient but responds almost immedately. What you said. I get gout, both big toe joints every couple of months. Voltaren Generic Name: diclofenac (dye KLOE fen ak) Brand Names: Cataflam, Voltaren, Voltaren-XR 3 or 4 of the "rapid 25" pills will nix the gout in 1 hour or less. Only sometimes do I need to continue the medication for a whole day or more. Great for hangovers too. Cheers Coss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torneyboy Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 If you take Zyloprim tablets they bring the acid down...have a blood test and you will see they work.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zob65 Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 I have had gout since 18 (now 49). Tried all the food and diets worked for a bit but it is a pain in the arse trying to stick to the diet. As Torney said I take one 100ml tablet of Zyloprim every day. It allows me to live a normal life eat and drink what I like. I have had about 2 attacks in 10 years. If you get an attack you must stop Zyloprim and take Naprosyn and plenty of water. The trouble with Naprosyn is that it can cause stomach problems always take it with milk or with food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ongchaiyai Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 "I take one 100ml tablet of Zyloprim every day. It allows me to live a normal life eat and drink what I like. I have had about 2 attacks in 10 years." I have had the same problem for over 20 years and I take Zyloprim (300mg) which is a brand name and each tablet contains Allopurinol (just reading the packet)....it used to give me severe gut-ache and the runs.... but now my gut can handle it....although I dont need to take a tablet every day....I avoid .....mainly tomato's...and seafood (shelfish) and believe it or not "Peas"......and OK the grog doesn't help! Have been advised that these tablets eventually fuck-up your kidney's so I have regular check-up every 6 months and drink plently of water.....(sometimes). Once I had gastro (tong seah) and it was coming out of both ends at the same time....this really stirred the acid up and I had gout (hopping around) and trying not to shit my pants at the same time....funny now...but then really distressing - 5555555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Munchmaster Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Ongchaiyai, you're another board member who seems to have difficulty replying to another members post. For example you have copied part of Zob65's post, then replied to Torneyboy and pasted Zob's statement, giving the impression that TB was the one who made the statement you are replying to (and we all know that TB's posts are never that long :hubba: ). It really is much easier to just reply to the person who made the statement using the 'quote this post' feature. In this case it doesn't really matter, but in some threads which are perhaps a bit more controversial or heated then replying to one poster while quoting another can be annoying, particularly for the poster who never said it. Just a little bit of advice. :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
