GOUT FLARE!!

So it's been awhile since I've had a gout flare and suddenly I get a major flare on Thursday!

I know, I know.. i'm only 30.. i'm too young!! it's the old man disease as they call it.. or the rich man's disease!!

Why the flare.. well...

1) kinda forgot to take my medication
2) well i've been drinking alot lately
3) Lack of water.. (i've never knew why water was so important to a diet.. now i know.. then again i've always known)
4) "Trauma" to the knee.. as the doctors say...
5) well.. when you have no flare in a long time.. (almost a year) you just become complacent..

So wondering what gout is?? Just think of it like this.. A SEVERE (and I mean severe) form of Arthritis! I mean SEVERE. so bad.. you cannot even touch the affected area without pain...

So what does this all mean.. well i'm stubborn.. so i'll be drinking water for a while.. slow down the drinking.. eat a bit more healthier.. then back to the old habits.. I'm so stubborn.. haha.. oh well...

I think I should find a gf so I just keep my ass at home.. HAHHAHAH

sounds weird, but i guess for your sake and the family's sake.. that may be the route to go.. of course, your girlfriend has to be toned down.
