Well at last I decided to buy herbal medicine for relieving gout.

Gout? Me?

Surprise!!

Yap, somehow uric acid concentration in my body is above normal. I found that about it 2 or 3 months ago using the instant uric acid test using your blood. Gee… never thought that I will have to deal with uric acid, gout, etc.

I mean, I am only almost-32 years old. *sigh…*

Woman! When you reach 30, your body metabolisms will suddenly drop. And usually it will affect to your health condition (like me). Another symptom of being 30 is that you will get fat easily and loosing weight seems so difficult (based on my experience).

Anyway, back to the topic, why the hell I must buy the medicine.

OK, the brief history was, just after delivery a sweet baby girl named Indira, I felt pain on my knee and feet palms every time I walked. I thought it was because of excessive body weight. So I took a diet with a well-known product from USA, ShapeWorks. Well, I lost the weights and the pain was gone.

Starting 6 months ago, I started to feel the same pain on my feet palms which came occassionally. It felt like a needle was pricked onto the palms. I was still thinking that it caused by another weight gaining problems.

The symptoms come and go. So I never really pay attention to it.

A week ago, just after getting back from Paiton, I had severe headache which was gone if I took a sleep. My assumption was that I caught colds since I sat just under AC blower in the bus during return trip from Paiton to Surabaya. Maklum, ndeso! Ndak biasa kena AC secara langsung sih.

It turns out that the headache remains until today. I also started to have rheumatic-like pain in almost all over my body. And yesterday, I went through excruciating cramps on my both feet after having too much walk. “Hmm, maybe my calcium intake was bad”, said the brain.

However, having reading on the net about uric acid and its symptoms when the concentration excesses, my brain alarm rang. “Ke, don’t you remember that several months the uric acid concentration in your blood was above normal?” said the brain.

Hey! That’s it!

My headache, rheumatic-like pain, sudden cramps, etc must be caused by an increase in blood uric acid.

Hmm, I guess I should take a lab test just to make sure. (males tapinya…)

Oh well! I’m just taking the medicine first then. Hope that the herbal medicine will work fast so I don’t need to check or go to physician.

I’m sleepy now. I think I will put an end to this post.

Bye bye…

Maybe I will make another post discussing more on uric acid…..
