Thanks, Eribrav. Been there, done that. I've been to three different specialists. I've had cortical-steroid injections (3 last week alone), I've taken colchicine, allopurinol, indomethacin, Lodine, methyl-prednisone, high dose naproxen, and several others. My doctor has referred me on to a rheumatologist and a urologist and has basically thrown up her hands. She says it's the worst case she's ever seen. I watch my diet closely and have had to give up my beloved beer years ago. Someone told me that eating large amounts of cherries or cherry juice on the onset of an attack would help, but I have not tried that yet.
