Gout!!!

[Sussexmalc]

Got a bout of gout feeling sorry for myself. Was planning W8R1 today. Going to be delayed. Feeling hacked off and in pain!

Gout is so so painful I use to suffer it alot. I always found cherry juice worked wonders.

But since Jan 2015, 6 months after I started my running journey I haven't suffered with it since.

Remember you are taking the best course of action in getting fitter and healthy plus your fitness won't drop to much while you can't run

Cherry juice it is then!! Thank you!

I got it It was attributed to too much alcohol. Apparently it deposits uric acid in the joints

Anyway I jacked that in, got thinner and started exercising with C25k. I still get pain in my big toe though and to counteract that I take a daily omega 3 fish oil capsule. Doc recommended it. If I forget it my toe lets me know 😃

No more probs. Eat drink healthily, keep moving 👍😃

Leave off dairy for a bit, and inflammatory foods. Fruit juice was/is the biggest cause of pain for me 😬. I went onto fruit juice after quitting booze but soon stopped that too. I don’t do fruit juice at all now but just eat the whole fruit Kiwi is good too as well as cherries

Ah never mind, just thought I'd let you know, I'm feeling the same. Was really looking forward to w6r2 today. Woke up with sore shin, posted a message on here, hoping people would tell me to run it off and I would be fine, but instead I got more sensible advice, so resigned myself to cancelling the run.

Stay positive, you're closer to the finish line than I am, so well done so far
