@thomasfuchs It took me embarrassingly long to figure out that, hey, maybe I should cut back on the caffeine if I enjoy using my feet. Even at 400mg/day allopurinol, I have to count my caffeine intake because it only takes a few days of mismanagement to trigger an flare-up.
Strangely, cannabis products (including CBD) seem to be a trigger for me, but I suspect it's just a mild allergy to something in cannabis extracts. (Once my immune system is angry for any reason, it attacks my toes out of habit.)

Yeah. Mine is lobster activated...one of my favorite foods, that I'll never get to eat again 😟
Fwiw they have more drugs now for it if standard therapy (allupurinol) doesn’t work, there’s a chance yet!
@thomasfuchs there are some perks

@thomasfuchs your posts are how I've learned what's been causing my recent flare up lol.
I've been drinking these Starbucks caffeinated fruit juice mixes and I didn't know it was an issue.
