I can't tolerate steroids, they cause kidney pain and my liver reacts badly, so that's not an option. My 24 hours of pure hell ended this AM and I'm trying to get back to "normal". My brother also has gout and I talked to him at my father's birthday party today and he also tried Colchicine and it had the same effect on him that it had on me.

I'll try the once daily Colchicine .6mg next weekend and see if that helps as my toe still hurts, it's about a 2-3 on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the worst. I just drove 93 miles to my apt to start my work week and my clutch pedal did a number on my toe, so it's throbbing and sore right now...Aleve helps a little.
