Art, you are taking too much naproxen. It has a relatively long half life, if you are taking 440 mg q4h, you best not do it for more than 3 or 4 doses and drink LOTS of water.

There is a large genetic predisposition, but diet can really push you over the edge. There was this one mug I saw every July 5th. He would drink beer and eat ribs in the sun all day and light off his gout. He would come hopping in, I would give him a shot and he was about ready to kiss me on the mouth.

One year I did not see him; turns out he started taking my advice. Drink a pint of water for every beer. "But that will have me spending all day peeing."

That is exactly right
