I am in a weight loss jag again and this time might be more successful that the ten thousand previous weight loss jags I have had. I feels more imperative to my life this time. I'm 52 and falling apart.
The night before last, I woke up about 1:00 with a searing pain in my right foot. I have been experiencing some weird random soreness in that foot for some time. I would wake up and the top of my foot would be sore. I hadn't banged it, twisted it, done anything to it to cause the soreness, but there it was. Another day it would move to the ball of my foot.
Well this searing pain kept me up for about three hours. I got in the hot tub for some relief, but that was fleeting. I got on line and googled the shit out of "Gout" cuz that what my self diagnosis told me I had. I have had it before so I have some experience, and I believe the diagnosis to be correct.
I finally managed to get a little sleep and when I woke up on Saturday morning, I limped off to the bar for my job. I drank lots of water to help flush the uric acid out of my body and I got a little help from some anti-inflamatories and a couple of decent pain killers from un-named sources.
I'm better now but I've got 19 pounds to remove. That will get me to 200 and I'll be happy with that. Like I said before, it feels more important to my health to have this weight off.
Now it remains to be seen how long this jag will last.
