Hello there,
Hope you are doing better these days. I just came across your message. Colchicine might be a trigger for your NP symptoms at that time? Check out: Abstract. Colchicine has been in use for therapeutic purposes for many years. It can, however, cause subacute onset muscle and peripheral nerve toxicity in patients with chronic renal failure. In this report we describe 6 patients who developed neuromyopathy after the administration of colchicine.

Hello @colchicine70, Welcome to Connect. I took Colchicine for my first occurrence of gout but only took it for a short period of time in which it did help with my symptoms. I see that you wanted to post a link so I thought I would share it for you since new members are not allowed to post links for a short period of time to prevent advertising and spam. Here is the research link that I think you were referring to:

-- Colchicine neuromyopathy: a report of six cases: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12371628/.

Did you develop neuropathy symptoms after being treated for gout?
