Hi, I'm a newbie
Hi, I am new here and pleased to meet you. As a female aged 38 pre menopause I do not fit in the usual catagory for a gout sufferer but for the past year have been treated for 7 acute attacks which have affected my work and personal life. It has been very hard for people to accept and understand that I have gout due to falling outside the usual statistics!
