Post New doc, new diagnosis!

Hello,

Just visited a new doc. Fed up with the last one. Well, this one diagnosed gout instead of sero-neagtive RA. I agree with this diagnosis more as my uric acids are always elevated. Just wondering though that i dont exhibit any of the classical symptoms like pain in the big toe etc. I discussed this with doc but he said that its not necessary that these symptoms always show up. Anyway have been prescribed a variety of NSAIDS like Vioxx and Distalgesic in addition to Allopurinol and a multivitamin. Lets hope this works.

Anyway i need more info about Gout, its symptoms, treatments, risks etc. Please let me know any good informative websites.

Also i would love to hear from people who have suffered from this disease.

Thanks!
