Possibly, also my heart was overtaxed with breathing being difficult because of the chest cold. I was scared to take my beta blocker without knowing if the cold meds would interfere with that...
What the hey, you cant just not take heart meds. Also, at least in america, they make cold medicines that are specifically ok to be taken with heart meds.

Flake!!!! Not to serious i hope. Get better, please. And remember you still have Swan Song to finish.....
About me... Remember a couple of weeks ago i couldn't play floorball because of my foot. I thought i had sprained it otr something but today tests come back and they said the infection was because of Gout!!!! What!!!! I can't have gout. It just isn't me. I got a pill too that i'm supposed to take morning and evening. Sigh......
Ah, often referred to as the King's ailment. Watch what you eat, you gotta keep a lookout for that uric acid. Pills, yech, but if they help more the better, Gout hurts .

I feel for you. I had gout in my knee a few years ago, and it hurts like hell. Worse than childbirth, worse than my herniated discs. For me, drinking much beer makes it worse, especially combined with eating food high in nitrates. Hopefully you'll have this one flare-up and be done.

Yeah, lets hope for the best. Somehow i had the illusion that only really old persons got gout. I'm in my best year darn it!!! And i havent had any problems since that time when i limped to the doctor and he took the tests. It was in my ankle so had big difficulties to walk at all. But now i don't feel a thing. except for problems sleeping i feel very healthy. I just don't understand it......

Hey guys, welcome back... hope you all had a great weekend. :smile:

(I was sick over the weekend and ended up in A & E with my (stupid) heart issue, it came right pretty quickly though and I was able to come back home. On the plus side, I got Finders Keepers finished. :) )
I'm so glad you're okay! Take care of yourself! I hope the cold is going away now. :)
I'm also glad you got a chance to finish Finders Keepers.

I don't need to take the medication every day, only when I have 'an event'. I just wasn't sure if there were any contraindications with the cold med's, so couldn't take it right away, but things settled by themselves before I had to take it... which is good because I get side effects from the beta blocker for days afterwards.

Maskins I still feel like I had a really nice break.

Dana Jean, did you get to play with any goats and how did you go with Finders Keepers?

Oh boy... don't tell me about Quizup, I need another new addiction like I need another hole in my head. :Oo:

What is Zupas like?
It's a salad, soup, sandwich place -- but don't think typical fare. It is so fresh and good and interesting varieties of things. i had a cauliflower soup that was to die for. To. Drop.Down. Dead. For.
