The doctor was reluctant to perscribe the indomethacine because it conflicts with the coumadine? Thats what he said any way. Also, I believe my heart surgeon was a really great specialist. I think not being diagnosed for so long has done a lot of damage to my body.?
?? Thanks for the assistance :o)

Zip2play,
? I will increase that dose myself if I can.? This is what my problem has been all along.. I cant find a doctor who knows what hes doing. Now that I have read your suggestions, I may try to gt in to see the urgent care doc who seemed to help the most and get him to increase the dose. I really appreciate your advice, it helps.

Hi Keith-
? I am on 100 mgs Allpurinol. I started it a lil less then a month ago.These are my first attacks of gout. They started in mid July.
Thank you and God Bless you for taking the time to post a response to me, which I read VERY carefully.? I have found this web site very educational, and knowledge does help you feel empowered. I am upset that I am in a crisis with my health, it seems like it has been nonstop since Nov. or 2010 when I had open heart surgery done. I was dx'd with Takayasu's Arteritis. I am still in soooo much pain and? with that pain comes the inability to get around. I? feel trapped in my own body! I am really in a bad mind frame right now.. I am normally very independant and never ask people for help.
??? Now, I Feel its gonna be a decent day if I can go to the bathroom without taking 10 minutes to to get there. I know this is just another battle I am facing and I wont make it with the attitude I have right now.
?????? I am so impressed by your bravery and positive attitude, I am hoping it will rub off on me.
