I've been dealing with gout and high uric acid for about six months now. I've been taking LOGOUTSR 250mg three times a day after meals. There's been a shortage of this medication, so I'm a bit concerned and wondering if you could suggest an alternative for me. Any advice on what I can do would really help.

View allI'm feeling really off because my hands are getting unusually warm, but my body temperature seems normal. I've already been tested for typhoid, malaria, dengue, and jaundice, and all the tests came back negative. I'm pretty worried and not quite sure what's going on. Can you offer any insight into what might be happening?
Given the negative test results for typhoid, malaria, dengue, and jaundice, the warm hands and feeling of sickness could be related to other conditions such as anxiety, overactive thyroid, poor circulation, or anemia; consult your doctor about further testing, such as a complete blood count (CBC), thyroid function tests (TFTs), or an electrocardiogram (ECG), to determine the underlying cause.

I'm really worried about my uric acid level being at 9.2. Is that really dangerous for my kidneys? I'm hoping to bring it down naturally. Is it possible to do that without medication, or are meds the only way to go?
The swollen vein and persistent pain in your wrist suggest a possible complication from the IV insertion. Consider consulting a vascular surgeon or a phlebologist for proper evaluation and treatment. They may perform imaging tests (e.g., ultrasound) to assess the vein's condition. Possible causes include: Phlebitis (vein inflammation) Thrombophlebitis (blood clot in the vein) Nerve compression or damage Seek medical attention to prevent further complications and alleviate symptoms.

I'm a bit concerned because my ESR is 50 mmhr. Can you help me understand what that might indicate? I'm planning to see my doctor later today, but I'd love to get some insight in the meantime.
An ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) of 50 mmhr indicates an elevated level, which can be a non-specific marker of inflammation in the body. It is often used as a screening test to help diagnose conditions associated with acute and chronic inflammation, such as infections, autoimmune diseases, and certain types of cancer. However, it is important to note that an elevated ESR alone is not diagnostic of any specific condition and further evaluation is usually needed. Since you are already planning to see your doctor in the evening, it would be best to discuss your ESR results with them. They will be able to interpret the result in the context of your overall health, medical history, and any other symptoms you may be experiencing.
