Hi Keith,

Many thanks for the detailed reply. I’ve scheduled another blood test for a week’s time and will post the results here. I guess there will be some natural variation in results, but it should be on or around the 300 mark? If for some reason (and I can’t imagine how given my diet and allopurinol) it’s gone up, should I suggest a higher dose of allopurinol?

Other than that, I just stay with the medication (200mg of allopurinol, naproxen as necessary) and the mini flares should stop in time?

Best wishes,

Dave.
