Diagnosed last Christmas after having quite a few flair ups. Apparently it’s a genetic inherited condition in my case.
now on allopurinol once a day (started the course in the summer) and still get attacks so also have colchicine to lessen the pain (plays havoc with my stomach though)
I’v Made a conscious decision not to eat red meat as that was definitely a trigger and have gone tea total as well. Exercise certainly helps, as it also does to help control my blood pressure.
