busy cleaning this morning and my foot started to hurt by 4pm i couldnt walk on it so dh ran me a hot bath and i had a lovely long soak
got out but still in pain
so decided to go to a&e and they said i have gout
in so much pain phoned all the parents to say i'm off tomorrow maybe rest of week
hospital gave me strong painkillers and ani bi's and i have to go to GP's tomorrow for blood tests (dont like needles)

gout is meant to be caused by alcohol or rich foods but i only drink on fridays (few glasses) and eat fruit and veg, also i walk loads 12-15k steps per day

so now sat in bed with lap top in pain feelin sorry for myself

Oh dmo, you poor thing, Didnt Henry the 8th have gout!!!! Have you had to many DH's (oops thet was me that had to many )
well make the most of the rest, lay back, laptop in hand and enjoy the time off, (AND DONT THINK ABOUT THE NEEDLES).

You will have course have to be waited on hand and foot, cos you cant possibly put said foot to the ground.

My dad had gout it was in agony for ages until he went to his doctor, was given medication and is now pain free
Hope you are soon pain free.

Don't just look at the negative side; how many times have you longed for an hour or two in bed with no-one making demands on you?

I know you're in pain, but put the radio or your favourite music on, get a book you've been waiting to read, or some mags and a drink at hand and make the most of it!!
I hope you feel better soon, rest up and take care

KaySamuels · 26/03/2007 10:18

I'll just reiterate what I said yesterday; accept that you are ill and rest so that you can recuperate properly.
Mothers so often just 'get on with it' and are never really well. I've had ongoing cold for ages that just won't go away.
This is your chance to have a 'proper' illness and get yourself right
