HCG and Gout.. anybody dealt with this?

[Guest guest]

I have been on testosterone for 8 weeks, last week started HCG for one

injection, got gout 2 days later.

I thought it was because of something I ate, but its the HCG, as I have figured

out this week after another HCG injection.

I have had gout attacks for the last year, I get them pretty easy now, since the

crystals have already formed in my big toe joints. I took colchisine to bring

it away from a full blown attack. I then started taking allopurinol, which will

reduce my bodies production of uric acid. Its keeping my gout at bay, but I

think I will have to wait a couple of weeks before I do any more HCG.

My gout has been caused by reactions to high blood pressure meds and my body

produces a lot of uric acid. I am hoping that bringing my uric acid level down

will help me deal with taking HCG again.

I don't see dr. crisler until next month.

Now that I have figured out that the two are related, its not so bad. The

terrible part of gout is how it gets worse over a few hours and when you can't

stop it, or you don't know what it is and you put ice on it, then it gets really

bad.

I did a search and found some caution about the hcg diet and gout, stating that

hcg raises uric acid levels. This week it won't get in the way of my workout,

but all of this is making me question competing next month in a competition

until I have a few months with all the hormones in good ranges.

I especially appreciate being able to talk about this here because taking the

hcg is freaking my wife out, and my doctor is happy to have my test levels at

492...f*** that.

In general the hcg makes me feel better.
