WDW and Gout

[drgreene1096]

Anyone conquer the world with gout? There are days that I can't walk at all because of the pain. Any ideas??

Are you on Allopurinol? If not, does your doctor have you on any medications?

And it looks as if you should give serious thought to an ECV or wheelchair.

There are some links for companies that rent ECVs and wheelchairs in the disABILITIES FAQs thread near the top of this board.

I used a wheelchair, and my doctor has recently changed my meds which has reduced my flairups dramatically. Have fun

Another good thing for gout is eating cherries. There is something in them that really helps. Got this from my FIL who used to have terrible attacks of gout until he started eating cherries daily.
