Gout, What is it Good For?
Absolutely nothing! I have no idea how I am going to stumble through work today.
Painfully, I suppose.
The title of my next collection?

Sorry to hear this. I just read something about a new medicine for gout. Hold on, I'm going looking...
Here it is:
Recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved ULORIC(R) (febuxostat) 40-mg and 80-mg tablets, a once-daily oral medication for the chronic management of hyperuricemia in patients with gout.
I ran this article in the newspaper a few weeks ago. If you want the whole article, let me know and I'll email it.
Hope it helps!
Hey!
Thanks!
I will look this stuff up!
At least you could take comfort that this is supposed to be a disease of geniuses. Right? Look at the evidence!
I like that better. Genius. I read somewhere that it's a disease of gluttons. What is hyperuricemia?
