@kathy1946 Welcome to Mayo Connect. We are not doctors, but patients/caregivers/family members who share our experiences and offer support to those on similar health journeys. Your pseudogout sounds painful, and I had to look it up! Here is a link to A Mayo Clinic article on it, which may help you.

I suffer with the regular gout, and know that I have to watch my diet to exclude certain things like shellfish, pork products, purine family items, and excessive sugar. Keeping my feet war helps a lot during this time of year.
Will you come back and let us know what you find works for your case? It may very well help someone else out in the same situation!
