I need to go back and look at my records. If I remember correctly I my enzymes values dropped within 2 weeks.
?
My uric acis levels fluctuate. They are always 6+ and have been as high as 9.2 and I know that is my problem. To your point even when I am cutting back on all things purine the best I can do is get down to 6.1. So I am going to try Urloric to see if my liver enzyme level is acceptable. Thank you for your input. I will stay posted on my results.
Is surgery even a consideration? my doc doesn”t like it because of infection. However until i get the uric acid under control its probably a waste of time. this is the worst and highly embarrasing. my doc put on a 5 day blast of predisone and antibiotic because it looked to be getting infected. it has now softened up but not going away. Thoughts?

Ah, the dreaded elbow tophi. How is one expected to act like a gentleman with lums on the elbow?
I am treating mine to a 900mg per day blast of allopurinol. Too early to report progress yet, but I'll let you know.

How have you been treating your disease over the years?
I took allipurinol for years until?my doc and i discovered it drove my liver ezymes up. so i quit taking it 15 years ago and moslty had it under control with the occasional?annual attack. now that i am older it seems to be happening more often. checking into urolic but i suspect it will have the same result to my liver. I guess i am looking at a complete life style change?? no nothing of all things good??
