Chronic Tophi With Gout - It Can Be REVERSED...

What is the worst agony a gout sufferer experiences? Is it the burning pain? Is it the swelling? The restraint caused by the pain of moving? Surely, it is the combination of all of them. As if the combined force of these villains is not enough, these villains become IMMORTALIZED. Chronic gout. The mere fact that you suffer from it makes you cringe with pain.

What more if Chronic gout comes as a package deal with tophi? This article aims to explain chronic gout with tophi.

Gout

Chronic gout, as its name suggests, is believed to be gout that will NEVER go away, in a sense that a person will get gout flare-ups all through-out his lifetime (believe me when I say that not all beliefs are true).

To those who is not aware of gout, it is a very cruel disease characterized by extreme burning pain and usually swelling in the affected joint. It can be caused by several factors revolving around uric acid, such as the Lesch-Nyhann Syndrome. It can also be caused by too much purine in the diet, because uric acid comes from purine.

So how does gout happens?

Ironically, this giant of a pain originates from something very small. The cause is even literally microscopic, namely URIC ACID CRYSTALS.

Normally, the liver, along with its friends in the excretory system, can dispose uric acid without difficulty. However, if the task at hand is heavy (such as when other ACIDS are to be flushed out), it is another story. Uric acid has to be temporarily stored while they can not be flushed out by the liver, and so that the body will not suffer from high acidity.

At first, the uric acid is stored at the interstitial fluids, THE HABITAT OF YOUR CELL (the thought of an acidic environment or your cells is fear-inducing. Imagine yourself swimming in a vat of acids).
Once the interstitial space is full, uric acid will be forced deeper into places that are not supposed to contain them, such as the synovial fluids in your joints. Eventually, uric acid will crystallize, your neutrophils attacking them as you cringe in pain. Ouch. Gout attack.

We have only discussed the “gout” part of the “chronic gout with tophi”, so hang in there! (SPOILER ALERT: GOUT CAN BE REVERSED)

Chronic Gout With Tophi

What if gout becomes EVERLASTING? In a sense that you will suffer from chains of gout attack for the rest of your life. Unfortunately, it is possible. Worse, the uric acid crystals begin showing itself piercing the skin!

Tophus (or tophi when plural) is the term used for the uric acid crystal, usually when it begins to protrude. It can appear not only in the joints but also in the earlobes, anywhere in the skin and in very rare cases, in the eyelids, spine, inside the ear and even in the male private part! Oucch.  Surely, it is painful and very obstructing.

Why Does Chronic Gout Happens?

A common cause of gout is the Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome, a genetic disorder that causes too much uric acid. More likely, the cause is the presence of excessive acids. Remember what I said? The task of the liver becomes heavier when excess acids are to be flushed out. In short, as long as there are excess acids, you will suffer from gout. As long as there are excess acids, there will be more tasks to occupy the liver, giving it less chance to flush out the unwanted uric acid.

So how does we reverse gout? We reverse the presence of excess acids! We reverse acidosis
See how reversing acidosis will help you?

Less Acids = Liver Can Dispose Uric Acid = FREEEEEDOM FROM GOUT
Eliminate the root and surely, you will recover in no time. Eliminate acidosis, reverse your gout!

Allopurinol Side Effects On The Liver

Modern day medicine has advanced to a rate that most modern diseases have a mortal enemy in the form of a drug. Sadly, it advanced so fast that our understanding of its deadly side-effects is left too far behind. Contrary to popular belief, even the most common medication we use can damage us. Many were deprived of their lives simply because medications are released even if its side effects are yet unknown and then withdrawn from the market.

Can I Take Colchicine and Ibuprofen Together?

Do you believe that we have survival instincts? Surely, this is one of the controversial psychological and physiological topic that garnered controversy. Nowadays, it is almost explainable by a solid scientific proof. Pain and stress are two of the aspects of our fight-and-flight mechanism that can force us to do something about what is causing them. At times, they come as a powerful combination when pain is the root cause of stress. However, there can be these unfortunate times that no matter how much we desire to remove the pain, we can do nothing. One such instance is during gout attacks. Surely enough, the pain indicates that something is not supposed to be in there, but we are left helpless. We can’t just cut our limbs off to remove the pain. Hence, the idea of taking multiple medications to ease the pain was born (even if those medications were not prescribed at all). This article aims to answer the question “can I take colchicine and ibuprofen together?”
