Hello @Sherb1976 and welcome to the online community,

I understand you’ve just been diagnosed with gout and you’re learning about the condition - may I say you’ve certainly come to the right place! All our members are friendly and supportive and are keen to share their experiences. You can ask any question and I’m sure you will find an answer in the forum.

It’s a great idea to learn more about your condition. Here are a couple of pages that might be useful: the first one talks about the best ways to manage gout and the second is the story of one of our members who lives with the condition:
