Gloucester

[Magdalena]

Nope, sort of stumbled on you guys whilst looking for other atheist/secular/humanist forums that weren't too abrasive. My other forum is going thtough a veryvquiet patch at the moment, but I have not deserted them.

I'm my own agent, don't need no supernatural incorporates or myths to point me in the right direction!

I thought you were asking who Pahu was, Mags, you are too subtle for me  The only thing Pahu might send me to is the madhouse.

I'm glad you came here.

The Civil War began there with the battle of Powick Bridge in 1642, and finally finished with the battle of Gloucester in 1651.

So much history in England!! Wish I knew more.

Hmmmmm!

Tescos are selling Lindt chilli chocolate again!

Yum!

Of course, being Tesco, it was no-where near the confectionary aisle but in the wine one. Hmmm, Merlot and chilli choc, close to heaven (if there were such a place).

OK, it will not help my gout but, bugger it, one has to live dangerously at times!

Wait, you have gout?  So you're human.  I have it, too, sometimes, in my right big toe.  Too much rich food and beer.

I've had it twice. I have to say it f***ing hurts!

Tank, can you describe your experience with gout, please?
I.e. - was the pain needles, six inch nails or more like a bruised feeling, small area or large? Was it stabbing/shooting or continuous (when not provoked). Was there any skin colour, any swelling? How long from first inkling did all out agony take?

I ask because I have, sort of, reduced the triggers diet-wise and for two days my feet have almost been pain free, I have been resting them. Then, late yesterday, a sort of bruised feeling started in the very outside of my right foot, about half way between the small toe base joint and the ankle.

Now, I would put this down to tendonitis normally but I have deliberately avoided ladders or any other thing that might stretch the foot beyond normal walking. (Took me a few days to learn how not to limp habitually!)

So, just checking with a fellow victim. Looking at lots of available images on Google seems to indicate the location of this pain is not typical. However, my medical history seems to indicate my responses to disease are somewhat off the typical curve! My cardiologist always looks carefully at me as I walk into his room, checking that I have a shadow and am not translucent I think!

Swollen and red little toe that hurt like hell when touched. Pain want away in about 10 minutes after 600mg of ibuprofen. Pian persisted for about a week before I didn't need medication any more. The pain was surprisingly intense but nondescript.

Hmm, nothing like that, all my pain has not been a problem with light pressure on site, again, more like a bruise than a boil! General swelling and pink flush over whole top of foot rather than localised, still reckon it is tendons.

Can't take ibruprofen due to other meds and gasritis, the gel strips the top layer of skin - bit like 1st degree sunburn. Paracetamol does not touch it. Only high level codeine works but that locks up my digestive system. Stopped taking latter two nights ago and have lost 3kg weight in three trips to the loo since!

! " Gloucester" must be an anagram for something really profound.6

Only anagram I can work out is "closet urge".

Not gonna tell yer what the urge is though, it stays in the closet
