Would you know it!! I may have Gout!!! Who has Gout?!?! Isn't that an old persons disease? Apparently not! For those that want to know what Gout is, here is the definition courtesy of healthscout.com
Gout, also called crystal-induced arthritis, is an arthritic condition that occurs when uric acid crystals accumulate in the joints. Gout usually affects the large joint of the big toe, but can also affect other joints, such as the knee, ankle, foot, hand, wrist and elbow. In rare cases, it may later affect the shoulders, hips or spine. Gout does not spread from joint to joint.
Well I have to get a blood test if I for sure have Gout. Geeeshh...just what I need!! I really really want 2008 to be a good year this year!! So please God take away my Gout!!
