Absence

    Hello all, 

    Well I thought I'd just give you a brief update on my absence from the site. The past six weeks have been a knightmare for me, my troublesome knee has been playing me up somewhat. Although I have kept my work commitments up, everything else has taken a step back, even my ongoing work in my daughters garden along with all things Trans! 

    Having been diagnoised with chronic gout in my knee, which I never knew you could get here, but my Doctor tells me you can get gout in any joint, this is caused by crystallization of the fluid and the uric acid levels within your blood. Certain foods can increase the uric acid levels, fresh tomato, mushrooms, any dark green vegetables, so eating healthtly like I do is not always the best practice, along with red wine, real beer ect... can contribute to the ailment.

    Six weeks of sleep deprivation has not been the best also, but now having new medication, along with extra suppliments and also I've recently read that cherry juice fights uric acid in a good way, I seem to be on my way to being mobile again and a more approchable pearson once again.

    So here I am again, 

    Best wishes to you all

  • Janet Evens Liz I fully understand what you have been going though, having suffered the same. Like you I know take one tablet a day, what relief to be free from that dreadful pain. Take care and yes cherry juice dies help.
  • Peter Oram I can sympathise with you and what it must have felt like not to be able to walk or even sleep. I get a bad blood infection in my left leg (cellulitis) from time to time which has me hobbling around at best, swearing and cursing the rest of the time...  more
