Trev: Not sure what your question is. Do you want to know what caused the blisters or what caused the gout? And yes, blisters do not cause gout.

thanks for tryin to understand by in a way the blisters did cause the gout but it wasnt diganosed till for 6 months and i had been to the doctors 3 times before i had a blood test what i want to know is how come the blisters helped the doctors to the blood test

There are several men at work that have gout. They said that it was a build up of to much (uric acid?). I know that they had to change their diet and watch what they eat. If you want, I could ask them what they needed to cut out of their diet so that they remain comfortable.
