    After my visit, do feel things are not bad at this time. I was told to stay focused on hydration since this could have been what caused the discomfort. Staying on 200 mg and a healthy diet course is my plan. Also, was told the UA level, in my particular case was good, that is, under 6. I must say have been drinking lots of water, even when not thirsty, and it has made a difference. For the record, I eat lots of white fish: cod, flounder, tuna and turkey, chicken and minimal amounts of beef. Hope any info I give out may help whoever may need it.

    Thanks for the reply. I was guessing on what was happening, it seems the crystals may be breaking down. I never did get a wound or tick bite, so that is out as far as possibilities. Also, rarely if ever, taking any ibuprofen or similar pain meds, for gout, I can accurately say this discomfort is recent. In the back of my mind I do wonder if this may be another form of arthritis. But does it really even matter? Will discuss these developments with my doctor soon and for the benefit of those here, will post his response.
