I didn't go to the Drs about my gout, I have done before. I was given the diagnosis, told it was self limiting and the pain shouldn't last longer than six weeks and told to get on with it.
When Steve went with gout he was given tablets to help with the symptoms and co-codamol for the pain. We both saw the same Dr though two years apart so I don't bother to go now. Our surgery is now only open on three half days a fortnight so there is little chance of an appointment. There is also no longer a direct bus route, so it means traveling into town and back out again.
My smellies were both gifts I don't buy myself things like that, I do however spend money on books for my kindle. I don't really watch tv so books and Beano are my main pleasures in life.
I'm going to lunch club tomorrow, I stopped going because Steve was kicking off and started to shout at the people involved. I shall go back as long as he doesn't also return. He doesn't like the food, the only reason he goes is to check up on me.

Those sound like good gifts. Hope you have an awesome time at the lunch club.
And I agree that doctors can be very selective about how they treat different groups of patients. Fingers crossed that new doctors start at that surgery.
We have a small doctors surgery here in our village. and a larger one in the next village two miles away. I think it is only a matter of time before they close ours, which would make it difficult for those who don't drive. This morning I turned our Coffee Morning into a Breakfast Club, I took my food with me. People laughed.
Enjoy your lunch club. I'm glad you have Beano and your Kindle to bring some joy into your life.
Does your local pharmacy have anyone who could help you with the gout? I know they can help with some things, but don't know if gout is one of them. Hope it's not too painful and sorts itself out quickly.
