New pub visits 2023

[Bucking Fastard]

April was a monster month with 33 new ticks ,mainly Norwich but also a few in Banbury. Year to date total now 92.

Pace will slow in May ,the main target are new ticks in Bristol while doing the Banksy Trail.

Twelve new pubs in May took me throught the century to 104 year to date.June includes the week long booze cruise with new tick potential in Stourbridge ,Kidderminster and Bromsgrove.

You lucky Fastard! An excellent drinking area (and the canalling is not too shabby either!)

Some great places in Stourbridge and Kiddy. Right on my doorstep. Waiting for The Crafty Jar to open. You might beat me to it!

A weekend jaunt by the seaside (beside the sea) has elevated me to flirty 30 for the year to date.

A assume you're on Allopurinol? If not get some prescribed, it works!

That's the plan, but my GP wants to get some blood tests first.

It works 99.9% but you'll be on it for life.

Better to be on a drug for life than suffer gout attacks!

Too much fine dining and lavish living?

I usually get advice to cut out red meat. I've been vegetarian for over 40 years!

Perhaps you should try some red meat then

After what I went through for nine-and-half years due to an NHS misdiagnosis, yes.

This was because most of my plans were scuppered by an episode of gout which lasted pretty much the whole month. It seems to be clearing now and I'm hoping for better things in June.

Sorry to hear that Will, do you get regular gout episodes? I'm a sufferer myself though, touch wood, I haven't had a bad one for quite a while.
I tend to take naproxen if I feel an attack coming on and used to try a natural 'preventive' from goutcare, though probably not consistently enough to decide whether it worked or not.
I note the later advice here regarding allopurinol, but my main medicine should be lots more water - unless it also contains hops and barley I drink hardly any, other than with my daily cocktail of tablets, thyroid, blood pressure etc
