Thanks for the advice on the maximum amount, I have lost the leaflet so didn't know that.
If the pain does go away now, how long should I carry on taking it, stop immediately, or 1 or 2 after?
Well, I struggled to the Doctors today as they wouldn't come out to me, have to say though, they did send me a free taxi there and back, so I can't complain.
The DR wasn't sure that fever would have come from Gout, but checked my lungs and ears etc for infection and found nothing.
He suggested I take Colchicine and checked the pot I had of it, and said that was fine. What I thought was sensible is that he gave me a prescription for Antiobiotics but told me to hold off on them until perhaps the gout had cleared up. If my fever was still there, then take the Antibiotics.
I am to take the Colchicine (2 first off, then 1 every 6 hours to avoid too many visits to the toilet), so i'll see how that goes.
I might have some somewhere from the last attack I had 2 years ago. Would you guys recommend I talk to my doctor and if he says yes, to go ahead with it? We have a good out of hours service here so maybe able to get a quick answer.
That said, they maybe out of date even if I do find them.
I have only been using Ibuprofen so far..
