One night my mother woke me up because she said my father’s left foot was swollen and painful. I asked her what happened and she said he had a gout attack. My mom doesn’t know how to drive, and obviously my father can’t, so in the middle of the night they asked me to buy a medicine. Good thing there is a 24/7 drug store near us.
The next morning, concerned and worried, I searched the internet about gout and gout treatment. Knowing my father, he is not fond of visiting the doctor and I want to be proactive about his gout. I learned that gout is a kind of arthritis and over time it can harm your joints, tendons, and other tissues. Gout is most common in men.
So my next plan is to monitor his diet and be sure he’ll eat in moderation or even small portions all the food that triggers gout attack like meat and seafood that are high in purine. I’ll also ask my father to refrain from drinking beer and on occasions just drink wine instead. Lastly, I will store an all natural gout treatment medicine and be sure he takes it everyday so that my father can say goodbye to gout attacks.
