Fuck. Yesterday I thought I was in the clear after a weekend of wine tasting, but woke up this morning with an all-too-familiar pain in my right big toe. Wonder if I ate a trigger food or ingredient last night that contributed.

Heh, no merlot. Even with the alcohol, I honestly I think it was something I ate last night, based on the timing and how this developed.

Me and my foolhardy arrogance.

I'll take "putting the whammy on myself" for $2000 please Alex.

Oh, and if you're looking for a good snake oil placebo, my last attack did get better after I started drinking ionized/alkaline water. It either helped, or the attack had run its course.

Good luck. Gout sucks.
