    Thanks for the replies guys, very helpful to know.? I'll remember the advice and make sure I keep a few pills of Colchicine & Naproxen in my travel bag, and remeber to always take my daily dose of AP.? Since my last attack happened while I was in the mountains, I want make sure I don't travel unprepared again.

    Over the past few years I've only been treating my attacks with Colchicine and I love it, though I have just started taking AllP and hope it starts “preventing” attacks and allowing me to eat shellfish again (fingers crossed).? Once I feel an attack coming I usually start taking 1 pill every hour for about 3-4 hours, and then sleep on it to see if I avoided the attack or need to keep going.? If I need to keep going, I take 1 pill every hour until I'm feeling better or I'm in the bathroom with a stomach ache.? At the point I'm in the bathroom, I know the “massive pain” will be gone in a few hours and the soreness will remain for a week… I agree the sickness sucks, but I'll take sickness over sever pain and throbbing for days.
