Question: I have had gout fo about 20 years, I am a sixty year old male......sales manager for the Northeast 4 nights out every week. medium to high stress at times... Hit and miss taking my medication, but have started taking it every day for the past 2-3 weeks with a complete change of diet . Did not hydrate and 6-8 cups of black coffee. Went complete cold turkey on coffee and now drink 60-70 ounces of water. have developed swelling at times of my fingers and hand with some rashes oval and round in shape raised at bit.... then everything disappears in 12-36 hours have had blood work for kidney, liver all levels came back normal
thank you XXXXXXX C

rashes one was stomach area other upper arms no more then two at a time then disappear in about 12 hours most of the time very limited adult beverages one glass of wine in a week. eating lots of brown rice . vegs fish and chicken

I do not have any photos at this time--it is more like a large welt that is raised on the skin--appeared under upper arm and a smaller one on the stomach. Welt is itchy at onset, but does not continue. Gout medicine is 100ml once a day, Allopuninol. Not been tested for diabetes, but do not have classic symptoms.
