Home from the office today.
Been having problems with my feet (and, since yesterday morning, my right knee) since Monday morning. Been limping and hobbling around all week. It kicked into overdrive last night, to the point that it is beyond painful just to hobble the few steps to the bathroom. Almost fell over when I got up in the middle of the night to head to said bathroom.
So darn painful just to move my feet and lift/bend my knee.
Best I can figure, it's an acute gout attack, but, I've never had one this severe and in so many different places all at the same time, before. Usually, it's only in one or the other of the ball/big toe of a foot.
Won't know for sure (hopefully) 'til I visit the doc at 12:15.
I don't need this carp right now. :bored:

But, always looking on the bright side, it is nice to have a lazy (if somewhat painful :in pain:) day off in the middle of the week...! :D ;) :)

As you were describing your symptoms, the first thing I thought of was gout. Owie. I hope it gets under control quickly!

It comes from a lake that is also used to cool our nuclear power plant, so I try not to think about that anymore then I have too.* I know that the theory is that all the water we have we had at the creation of the earth, but, excessive usage continuously adds more junk to the water like sweat, detergents, fabric softener and so on, that the water treatment plants have to purify beyond what nature does in rainfall, streams and springs.
I am, however, constantly on the look out for any water the glows in the dark.

I'd also be looking out for this guy.

I'm sorry to hear you are having pain. I hope it clears up quickly for you. Let us know how you are getting along after the Doc visit.

Hubby had gout, I remember the Doctor warning about red meat, and meat gravy, and organ meat. That's all I remember.
