Having a gout attack today on my foot. Its elevated and I took some meds. Smoking some Nyala in the new to me, refurbished Kai Tomato.

I have used this stuff in the past in relation to gout with some success:

It seems to act as a diuretic and helps you piss like a fiend. I was able to order it via Amazon US (not sure if the France branch carries it). It requires you to drink a lot of water in conjunction so you can flush the uric acid out of your system and not get dehydrated.

I have found that being steady about drinking a gallon of water daily, gout attacks can be avoided. If I feel a hint of ache in a foot joint, I drink about forty ounces of water right away—I have been able to avoid a full on attack close to a year by being diligent about hydration.

On that note I take a tart Cherry supplement every morning and drink a lot of water throughout the day, with one glass being lemon water. I also watch my diet and eat foods that have lots of anti inflammatory stuff in it. I save the weekend for my junk food days. So far so good my own attacks haven’t happened in years and minor ones resolve pretty quickly.

I hope the damage is manageable and all those close to you are ok.
If I’d been in my usual seat outside smoking, I’d have been hurt. It happened after the storm, water logged roots took down a big tree which took down another on its way down. 25000$ dollars worth of damage but it’s just about all fixed, had to get a completely new roof. Home owners insurance covered it, thank goodness.
