Gout news and ideas

Do gout drugs stop working?

I have had gout for about 10 years and at first the attacks didn’t come along very often. It seems as I have had it longer the attacks are getting worse and I am having them more often.

At the moment I take cholrcine which did work up until recently, now it doesnt seem to help as much if at all.

I have heard so much about cherries being helpful that I eat them daily, now I am worried that because I eat them so often they stop working as pain relief for gout.

I always try and be careful in what I eat and I don’t drink beer as I have been told that can contribute to gout. Does your body just get used to all the gout treatments and the cherries and eventually they stop being so effective?
