Health update...

I recently had a blood test done, since it was 6 months ago where I started taking meds for my elevated uric acid levels...and, thankfully, my levels have dropped 20 percent. Thing is, I got to keep taking the meds for the rest of my life. *sigh

Thank God it was nothing serious, Kaarlo! Was that uric acid level related to the foot problem you had? I seem to recall that.

Oh boy, I've been partaking...I mean seeing so much Halloween candy around lately. We just ordered our TG/Xmas goody fest from one of those catelog order stores. Red Velvet cake, baklava, marzipan....

yeah the foot problem was gout. =( Which is strange since I'm the only one in the family whose ever had it! Still, I have to cut out foods which raise the uric levels a lot, like shellfish (shrimp)...

As to partaking...it's only going to get worse as the holidays continue...

I remember you saying how painful that was. Make sure to keep well hydrated.

The goodie train is rolling in our office already. I couldn't resist the banana chocolate chip bread. :\
