There is no question about it, if you're suffering from gout; you know all too well what the word suffering really means.

Probably the most important thing you can do is to modify your risk factors. Certain habits in your lifestyle increases the risk factor of getting the gout, all you need to do is adopt certain changes, which I'll gradually tell you. By modifying these risk factors, even if you already have gout, you'll in turn lessen the severity of the symptoms. These factors include keeping your weight within the normal range for your height, following a moderate exercise program, avoiding rich foods, meat and seafood and finally, have an evaluation for lead poisoning.
Another thing you must do if you're going to have any chance of beating this terrible disease is limit your intake of alcohol, especially beer, Alcohol is one of the worst offenders and worst enemy to people who suffer from gout. The reason is because the alcohol helps increase the uric acid levels which in turn inflame the joints, tendons and tissues of the body. Just squaring this off from your diet can greatly improve your immune to gout and also lessens the severity.
Finally, if you do have an attack, don't be a stubborn cuss like some people. You're not going to fight your way with the conventional medications. If you have an attack and a joint becomes swollen or painful, rest it. Make sure you keep it elevated. If the pain is unbearable, take a pain killer (but I do not recommend) and for heaven's sake do not, do NOT take aspirin as this will only make the problem worse. Take something like ibuprofen to kill the pain.
You're probably wondering why I don't recommend taking pain killers. The answer is simple. The side effects, either long or short term, only lead to other problems. There are natural ways of dealing with your gout problem. In my signature, you'll find a review of a great book that will help you relieve your gout naturally…without having to take any kind of medications.
