The Ol' Reliable

The pain in my right knee, whether caused by gout, arthritis or a marauding knee urchin has subsided. I am trying to keep track of when this thing occurs and how long it lasts.

Last time was a month ago, starting on January 23rd and lasting for about a week. This incident started on February 25th and is gone today. I am completely off my gout meds and trying to manage any future gout-breaks with diet. It seems I need to keep beer intake at a minimal level.

That has been helped by the South Beach Diet, where we give up beer for Lent. We are into Phase Two of South Beach and I am maintaining at 205. I rise above, I dip below, but I always come back to good ol' reliable Two O Fi5e.
