I ended up having a gout flare up 3 times before my doctor prescribed Allopurinol a few years ago, haven't had another flare up since. Quite possibly the most painful thing I've ever had to deal with.
I started building model cars again a couple of months ago after being out of the hobby for 45 years, and I'm loving it. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed it, but I'm having some fun again for the first time in several years.
I wish we could move to a warmer climate, the Winters here in the PNW suck, and really do a number on my pain. 6 months of clouds, rain, and fog. But we live within an hour's drive of our kids and our grandkids, and I can't see us ever moving away from that.

I agree that was the most painful thing ever. As far as the fog that also does me in. I woke up this week in the middle of the night and had to take a pain pill which is really unusual. When I got out of bed in the morning, it was as thick as pea soup. The fog and the weather changed. If the weather stayed constant, it would be OK. But as the barometric pressure goes in and out my pain flares, I wish there was more attention paid to arthritis in the commonalities that those of us face. So many people and so little attention it’s crazy.
