As soon as I feel what I think is a gout attack, I take INDOMETHACIN, a powerful NSAID. That reduces the pain and swelling. Usually take it twice (12 hrs apart) and that does it. If it's severe, after I take the NSAID, I'll take colchisine, which I understand actually rids the system of the crystals causing the problem.

My uric acid levels (along with a lot of other health indicators) have been pretty good since I've lost almost 20 lbs. I can eat shrimp every now and then and in general I just eat everything in moderation.

Used to get severe attacks every month or so. Now, I get a mild one every 3-6 months.
