    I see your point Zip.  I was just thinking more on the lines of people who have only had 1 or maybe 2 gout attacks in their lifetimes.  Since acquiring this disease, I've run into at least 4 or 5 people that have told me that they had a couple bad bouts within 10- 20yrs, but for the most part they never have any issues (and are not on a Rx).  Was thinking that maybe a secondary factor caused their attacks.  I dunno, just my 2 cents

    Ok, I'm annoyed! Paypal will not work for me with this company.  I keep getting the following error everytime I try to send a payment: “We cannot process your payment at this time. Please retry your purchase with a different payment method. Contact PayPal Customer Service if you need further assistance.”  I call Paypal CS and they said that due to certain security protocol they have in place payment will not be accepted and there is no way to over ride it.

    Seeing that I live in the US, I'm not comfortable giving my credit card number out to a foreign company (regardless of their reputable status).  Any ideas?  Can I order this stuff from somewhere else?

    Thank you for response.  Does the UASure kit come with the control solution? or do I have to add that to the cart seperately?  I just dont want to purchase it seperately if it already comes with the kit.

    I guess the best thing…like you've said is to have regular UA monitorings to ensure UA levels below 6.5.  Personally I think I'm going to order the UASure kit so I can test mine often (and I'll reference GP Confused).  Better to spen $150 at once instead of $40 a pop at a Dr (plus bloodwork fees)!

    If one was able to eliminate most crystals from years of Alliporuniol use, and then they stopped taking the drug, couldn't they potentially go for years again without another flare up?…since the crystals would have to start from nearly scratch again

    Thanks for the quick response.  I guess the problem with me (and any new gout sufferer) is that it is too early too tell exactly what the “triggers” will be.
