I stopped eating any processed meat like sausages, drinking alcohol, etc., and began to workout and only eat when I felt hungry. Also, I cut way back on red meats - that was a pain to do. I think that losing the weight has helped. Now, my PCP gave me a Rx for two packs of Methylprednisolone 4mg Dospak last year and only once did I take a few. That med kicks ass!
Since then, no flares. I know what you mean by wanting to amputate your feet - worst pain I have ever experienced is gout.
I also stopped taking colchicine after I read online about it.

Best,
