Gout?

[OldG]

Gout is awful. I know a tough as rocks polish dude and the sheet could not even touch his feet when he was having a flareup.

Hope you get some relief. Guts suck but if you get high enough with the right gear I find the pain can not push through it. But you dont get a lot of useful shit done that day.

Wish there was a weed that helped... That would be as sweet as...if i could design a seed removing buster...for arthritic hands... So this is the level of high i mean...

Man believe me I've tried to smoke that gout away and in a way it made it worse..the weed was trying to knock me out and pain was too overwhelming to sleep so it had me basically losing my mind ...Not to mention coughing feels like your foot is going to explode into hamburger..I haven't tried edibles for the same reason alot of times I just want to sleep and it's literally not possible ...I was in a major head on collision in December 2020 and have major arthritis in my neck and basically my whole left side....Now the weed has tremendously helped with that no doubt! Gout is a animal In its own league...It's kicking ass and taking names..No quarter

Try mixing CBD in there with that THC it might help. I've done it recently and it definitely didn't make it worse. CBD is supposed to help with inflammation and pain but I don't think it works it's magic without at least a little THC to help it along. I wanna see what it's like combining all these cannabinoids in higher doses.

That's definitely a good idea...If I can half ass walk tomorrow I'll hit the dispo and grab some CBD...I don't have any but I would like to grow some high CBD strains..just haven't because I don't know much about it

I know a farm that'll ship CBD products (including flower) straight to your door if you're interested shoot a PM. They have a website and all that.

Anyone ever suffer with gout?? This is the third time suffering with and I'll tell ya it's insane..I consider myself to have a extreme pain tolerance..Last bout with it it crossed my mind to off myself...that may sound dramatic and extreme but it made me crazy...no sleep for 4 days straight and the pain was something I can't explain...It's kicking my ass again....Anyone know of any old tips or tricks to get rid of it...herbal remedies? Ive failed at every attempt to ease the pain. Apple cider vinegar soaks..Epsom soaks..Pounding into my body the tart cherry as it was the only thing that I believe that made it go away last time.. Hopefully someone has some input..going to the doctor for pain killers is not a option as they don't touch gout anyways

Sorry to hear this brother. My Brother gets the gout almost yearly and he swears by the Tart cherry juice. He also adjusts his food choices and alcohol intake. I hope you find relief real soon.

I am working my way through an ingrown big toenail. I will see my podiatrist in a week and he'll be my new best friend! I think we are going to remove the entire nail.
For the first 40 years of my life, I was bulletproof! What the hell happened???

As my kid brother says, the first 40 were easy, but I'm not sure I can take another 40!

you can sleep on edibles...you just have to use a dense indica..take it a week or two further than you would for smoke, decarb and infuse THAT.

I have gummies you can not stay awake with. They are great for sleep but it sucks in the daytime (I make sativa heavy, daytimes that are harvested a little early to keep me awake. And a few cracks of black pepper wake them up with that

Both black pepper and cannabis contain the terpene beta-caryophyllene. This molecule activates the CB2 receptor of the endocannabinoid system and produces relaxing and calming effects. When the effects of cannabis are too strong, a dose of this terpene can help the user sober up. So good for edibles but i want the opposite of black pepper for doobs...mangos...lets up the effects

AND that terp calms the anxiety from weed...edibles too...chills it down like cbd flower added to your edibles. I was watching a Frenchy Video and she made some beauty cannabis pastries...hit the tops with black pepper and it was WOW of course you can add the terps from other plants.

That's pretty cool info...I go thru black pepper I'm failing certain WAY more than the average person..The top of all my food is black..I'm not a indica guy at all...I have some weed i grow that I can't/mostly don't smoke that just blows my wig..But believe me the wife rips em up..I'm more of a haze lover and African sativa's..Thru the help of y'all I think I'm going to venture into some CBD strains and play with those just a bit...Still planning to make RSO but I want to grow a few high CBD and CBG strains to add in..

gummy sleep meds with indica...its not like smoking a joint.

Its more like you eat 1 to 5..depending on tolerance....get your pjs on and your sleep timer on the tv and set it for 60 minutes and ZONK.

you get a fuzzy warm whole body kind of stone..soothing...

I've eaten edibles many times... Sleep is literally my only option...been so absolutely tricked out can't even get up to piss...I make my own and it's usually to late to realize I've had to much... Started making the gummies so I could see how many to eat thru experimenting...They are different everytime....Always not enough or goodnight Arlene

Sugar doesn't help during a gout attack so keep that in mind. It only increases inflammation and inflammation is a big part of a gout attack.

I haven't eaten much at all just for that reason, been basically sugar free..yesterday and today made a burger with only a portabello cap as the burger with tomato and lettuce onion..That was a meatless pro tip I learned from @spyralout ...Let me tell ya..Goodbye hamburger..Shit was delicious and I'll be eating those alot! Apple cider vinegar and tart cherry juice have been a huge factor..Altho still swollen and painful it's definitely letting up and going away already as far as I can tell..going away way faster than the other times that's for sure

In the future I'd use a tart cherry extract so you can eliminate all the sugar in that fruit juice. I remember thinking cherry juice would help and wondering why my flare up was still bad days later.

Oh man this is a extract...if there is sugar in it you definitely can't taste it. It's by no means tasty and pretty thick lol. Also have some tart cherry extract capsules

Interesting…

Scientists Find a Better Way To Treat Gout

Should doctors rethink the standard gout treatment? Gout is caused by the accumulation of urate crystals in the joints, and xanthine oxidase inhibitors such as febuxostat are a staple treatment to help lower blood urate levels in afflicted people. However, a new clinical trial reported in Arthritis

I can attest to this. I did the Pepsi Challenge on both Chelated and Tartrate forms with the Chelated being by far the most effective.

I quoted the wrong post, it was meant for this post (apologies @Hugh Jass):

If you'll get the Chelated type of Magnesium, it's much more easily assimilated by your body.

Coincidentally, I was asking a friend in health care if she had any suggestions for joint pain, especially knee, since I’ve been having it more severely lately. My right kneecap is bone on bone from an injury I got in my teens. She suggested Magnesium, so I grabbed some from Amazon. This post along w my friend’s suggestion reminded me that I’ve been slacking in the mag dept. I love how that happens; synchronicity strikes again

BTW a lot of brands claim to be chelated but are not. Reviews have been very helpful in identifying which brands are better.
