    Hi Keith, how can we start this structured help plan?
    today I finished the 20 pills of Milurit-100 mgs, and I m thinking to stop them for 7 8 days and retake the blood test.
    Also since I started the 20 days of Milurit I had at least 2 liters of water per days and significantly reduced the intake of meat, actually I have ate meat only for 5-6 meals ( small portion in the last month).
    As I said in my previous posts is that I lost 3 kgs at least and I am at -60 kgs now, and started to take some vitamins today and I also started to use to take some black currant leafs tea. (two cups per day) for few days now.
    In the last days I feel like my knees are a bit colder then usual, both of them.

    Next monday I ll retake the blood test. please tell me how we can start the plan.

    thank you

    I m wondering whether once you start the molumedication, does it creates addiction? I mean like Im affraid I’ll learn my body with medication and when I stop it..it will raise again..if I would have had this issue at over 45 y, I think it would have been more acceptable..but now at 31..it s fucking demoralising ๐Ÿ˜€
    Crazy question: does smoking weed afect?:))or might be giod as it relaxing

    Well I think is gout, what else could be in the beginning I thought that might be because of the stairs I went up and down to t5th floor at my work, at least 3 times per day or 2 that would mean like 30 floors per day at least for about 4 months, but then I was thinking that the pain that I had it couldn’t be so bad because of that..although it was only for a day really painful, this week for instance I walked 50 kms, the pain is ok, doesn t bother me too much, but is there and I don’t know what to say..I m trying to accept this and to enjoy life as it is.sometimes I get really depressed but now I am trying to be more optimistic. I will be back with the results next week, I still have two pills, I ll stop them for 7 days and then do the test again, I hope will be around 5-5.4 maximum, but with all the stress, I don t know, will gonna see..anyway, after 10 days I ll start the milurit again.for at least three months to see if I can get it under 4, and after I ll try only diet..and see what happens..is it a good plan.I don t know..I m just gonna try it and see.

    Hi nobody,

    The doc., doesnt even want to speak with me, now he replied to my email and said in a confusing way that I shall take 20 pills of 1100 mg of milurit, monthly and have a diet, that was all!am I crazy?i don t know what to believe, again I paid for consultation and again I didn t receive any explanations, one month ago he told me to take milurit for 20 days and revert to him with the blood test, now he told me via email that take monthly 20 pills, for how long?what diet to keep?what are the causes of my gout? I told him via email that I am very stressed for the last two year and a half, that I lost 3 4 kgs 2 years ago with no reasons, and I believe was because of stress..what he said..? Nothing! Is it stress a possible cause? I don t know?but I would like to know whether gout is because of genetics or something else..I spent a lot of money ..and no results, no answers. .pain still thereover 1 month and 7- 8 days..started to lower but still present. Today I played to casino and I lost money I had very high emotional stress and when I left casino I felt the pain in my foot although all the morning was really [email protected]?!..
    This month I m going to move in Luxembourg, I hope I m gonna find a good doc there to help me with at least some explanations.

    Meanwhile didn t I ate few times a little bit of chickens breast, is that allowed? I m thinking to start eat like 3 times per week at lunch small portions. What do you think?

    hi all,

    I am about to finish my 20 days prescriptions of milurit, the dr answered my email today, but didn t give me any clue what to do next…?! he told me to re check the test blood and try to keep diet. shall I continue with this 100 mg of milurit? shall I just let it like that and check uric acid levels once at 2-3 months and see if it rises or keeps in the limits?
    I m very confused now..I don t know what to do.

    Hey Patrick, sorry to hear that, I already asked today my dr, I sent him an email, I am waiting a response.

    anyway, sometimes I m thinking how perfect is the human body, what makes this kind of “errors” to appear.?!

    all the best

    Hi Patrick,

    they messed up a bit. once again.

    Date Total Bilirubin
    10.02.2012–> 2,61
    02.03.2012–> 1,78
    29.05.2015–> 2,172
    02.05.2017–> 1,61

    direct bilirubin:

    02.03.2012 –>0.46
    29.05.2015–>0.589
    02.05.2017—>0.49

    Uric acid:

    29.05.2015–>5.8

    02.05.2017–>5.5 the symptoms started on 01.05/

    hi d q, thank you for your reply.
    below you can see the values that I found during last five years.
    Date Total Bilirubin Direct Bilirubin Uric Acid
    10.02.2012 2,61
    02.03.2012 1,78 0,46
    29.05.2015 2,172 0,589 5,8
    02.05.2017 1,61 0,49 5,5
    03.05.2017 5,59
    18.05.2017 5,9

    for bilirubin the normal values are:
    Normal Values UOM
    <=1 mg/dl ==> total bilirubin
    <=0.3 mg/dl ==> direct bilirubin

    in 2012 after the checks the dr told me that he thinks is gilbert sindrom and i don t have to worry about that.
    still, I m trying to figure out what is the cause for my uric acid levels. in hope that whether is a secondary cause and I treat the cause I might get rid of this of u.a.

    one more time..the pain is still there at a low level, at a bit swollen sometimes. altough it s been over a month since has begun. and take milurit 100 mg for 12 days.ate only few times meet, no alchohol at all.

    one more question, I found routine checks blood as i said even from 2012..3 or 4 tests till present and each time my total and direct bilirubin was high, can this be related with gout?

    related to gout checked all my family members..uncles, cousins, etc. no one had it..i m the luckiest one apparently.

    hey guys,
    updates :
    i got the results in my blood test from two years ago,29.05.2015 and my uric acid at that time was 5.8 mg/dl, as the actual level that i found it in last three test last month (02.05-5.5, 04.05-5.59 amd 18.05-5.9), almost similar, so apparently there seems to be an issue, as i thought it have been under 5..but it wasn t.
    otherwise i still have pain in both feet after a month and two days since i started to have pain for the first time..they alternates from left to right.
    i am on milurit 100 mg for 10 days now. doctor prescribed for 20 and do one more uric acid test .

    how can you determine whether you suffer by sleep apnea or not? i m not overweight but sometimes even when i was a child i had the feeling that i forget to breath. i don t know if was just a feeling or really was related with that..but in the last time i had quite a bad sleep, as I m stressed most of the time, and became more aggressively, I get annoyed by even small things, so annoyed and nervous that I start shaking.
    besides that i read a testimonial from a guy from my country who said that once he cured by sleep apnea he solved his issues with gout.

    Hi guys,

    Thank you for being so supportive.
    It s a tough time for me at this very moment, I m struggling to accept this new issue.
    still i have few questions, maybe you can help me to understand what happened.

    1) for how long you have to have a high uric acid in order for cristals to form/ or start having gout attacks? I ask that because I am 90% sure that 2 years ago at a routine check I had a normal value, under 5. and I don t understand what could have happened meanwhile. I didn t took drugs, didn t drink, or eat a lot. like to say this could influence.

    2) shall i postpone one month for Milurit in order to see if diet can work for me or not? at least i want to try before starting to take drugs to see if i can lower u.a or not by diet. I think this make sens..at least for me. based on your experiences, what do you suggest?

    3) how can i determine wheather this is because genetics or is a secondary thing that affected my u.a levels. why do i ask that is because exactly two years ago when i did that routine check was because i lost weight about 3 kgs..without reasons. and in the same time i started have a low pain in my left leg all along the leg, became a bit more tight/rigid leg/ i did that blod test and also did an MRN at my head. everything was fine, and the doctor from there supposed is because i work in office and was related to my back, didn t do further investigations, as wasn t recommended. still i have today the same rigid left leg. doesn t disturbe me . but i can feel it when i walk. and stuff.( the problem with the leg had it also my uncle, at the same age, but did pass over time..still bother him sometimes, but no issues there and he s over 60) could those two be related. ?

    as i said before i put a thousands questions ..what could have happened with me.how the metabolism worked good beforeand now for sudden the something is not properly right..

    the doctors didn t ask me anything.. i paid a lot of money..on blod test/ consultations ..etc..and they just throw me out in 5-10 minutes.. take this ..and that s all..

    i dont know i was expected more. to see what is the cause, what can be done to solve it, is it permanently..i ll have uric acid raised all my life. i am aware that nobody can t say that for sure..nobody can predict it, but at least try to..help me figure out some things..

    once again, guys,thank you for your support, i know that all of you suffers/suffered in some points, and i feel like i m kind of selfish. or not sensitive to your pain, i m scared and thinking to myself only..but i m quite a good person. is not like that.

    Hi man, thank you for your reply, I will post the exact value from two years ago when I ll have it.
    Aas a matter of fact I suffer for depression ffor about six seven years, most of the time ii m depressed, I refused medication when prescribed by psychiatrist, I thought that I can manage it, but at this very moment I see no more escape, everything is black for me, it suffocates me..these days I was thinking to suicide, I hope not to end up there.

    Regarding eggs?can I eat eggs?and if yes?how many per week?as I like eggs..vegetables I understand that i can eat everything.
    And read about that if you boil meat looses most of the purines..and you can eat it boiled..is it true?

    From what age do you fight gout? How many years?
    Can be depression the cause for my gout?
    Do you succeed to have a nirmal life?like having a job?a family? I want to make a family, but how can I do it now?will I be able to support it? I have a milion of questions.

    Hi guys,

    Well I rulled oud another blood test this week,after 15 days, the result for Acid Uric came to be 5.9 mg/dl, I also found my file from exactly two years ago and then at routine control I did check the acid uric which was in normal values and from what i remember was for sure under 5 mg/dl,what could have happened meanwhile?// still issues are here now,so I don t know how much it matters that value anyway since is two years ago. anyway i don t know yet the exact value as I am waiting reply from the clinic I performed the tests.
    besides that I lost about 3.5 kgs in weight due to the stress..and lack of food, definitely i don t know what to eat..i have 60 kgs now,at 1.75 cms height/ I m skin like a goat..what to eat..i gave up meat, i ate acutally 3 times/meals in 20 days.

    Today I saw another doctor-rheumatologist this time, he said he believes that the issue is because of hyperuricemia, so he told me to take:

    Milurit -100 mg for 20 days and after stop it and check again the level of uric acid, from what I understand is same with Allopurinol.
    Aflamil-100 mg for first 2-3 days when I start Milurit.

    Also told me to stop Milurit if after 2-3 days I start having pains.

    Besides that I still have pains after 20 days since started.not big but still there. some days good some days better. didn t take any medicine as the pain is tolerable.

    What do you think ? to start the medication with milurit for 20 days? is this good? as ussualy i saw that this is taken for longer periods.
    i would also wanna try some homeopat things. maybe this could help me go below 5 .is this possible?

    besides that he told me to avoid fish and organs and meat soups. in rest i can eat whatever i want. was very short, didn t give me a lot of attention, told me just to not worry is ok, although i was about to cry because of this problem which it is overwhelmed me.

    some advices would be appreciated..?

    thank you
