Have you ever had a gout flareup? Because that's exactly what my first one felt like, and it kept getting worse until I finally went to the doctor - who yelled at me and told me I could have caused permanent joint damage by waiting.
In my case I eat a lot of fruit - daily - and I love things like shrimp and lobster. I've switched to less sweet fruits (Granny Smith apples instead of Envy or Red Delicious) and [sob] given up lobster and shrimp. Mostly. Except when I don't.
@ScottSoCal @actuallyautistic Iβve cut down on sweet stuff in the last month or so , I do have a very sweet tooth!
@ScottSoCal @actuallyautistic Never had gout but I will explore the possibility !
Thanks for the tip ππ«ΆπΏοΈπ
