Gout SymptomsWould you describe your experience of gout symptoms like that? That’s actually a pretty fair picture of just what it looks like to have a gout attack.

Gout Symptoms . . . let’s take it from the top . . .

Remember the first time you had a gout attack? That first achy, dull pain that was just the beginning of the rest the gout symptoms? The swelling, the heat, the redness, the moaning, the groaning, the writhing on the floor, the tears . . . THE PAIN! Do you remember that? I do . . . and I’m glad I’m done with it. And even now there are times when that dull pain starts creeping into your ankle or wrist and you know it’s the start of days and days of pain . . . you know what I’m talking about. That’s gouty arthritis coming in for a visit. Even that first time, if you had just known that there was the possibility of gout, you could have had some blood-work done and found that your levels of uric acid were too high – if you had only known.High levels of uric acid in the blood are the strongest and most definitive of all gout symptoms. What can you do to ease the acidity in your body? How did your body get that way?

Are there “gout symptoms” . . . or is “gout” the symptom?

All to often I talk, interact, communicate, with people who are having some sort of experience of gout symptoms. Because my gout progressed from acute gouty arthritis, to chronic gout, to tophaceous gout, I have a lot to relate and pass on about gout symptoms. As I realized that I had something important and valuable to pass on about what gout is and what to do about it, I came to a stunning realization one day. I was researching gout info to understand why, what I had done had worked, and I was clubbed over the head by a recurring bit of information: most people who have gout also end up with heart disease, diabetes, strokes, cancer, and more. I was like – whoa – I need to tell everyone! Then I thought wait a minute! I HAVE GOUT! That was the day I coined the phrase; “gout is just a painful omen of heart disease and diabetes”. Got that? Don’t ignore or take your gout symptoms lightly – get proactive, get busy, get educated, and get in gear. You’re here on this page cause gout’s got you . . . and you are going to have to fight back.

Your gout symptoms are just a wake-up call . . .
