Advice please been suffering with gout and normal medication did not work. Blood test revealed high levels of uric acid and has now put me on prednisone 20mg for four days reducing over three weeks. Really worried about taking steroids and side effects. Foot is a lot better now and due to go away end of week but start meds on Monday just do not want to feel unwell with side effects whilst away. Thank you.
