I think I have had gout before, on my big toe. It hurt like hell, and now the pain is back, in my toes and hands alike. I think it is time to act now. Last time I had what I now believe to be a gout attack, I simply ignored it thinking the pain would fade away, which it eventually did do of course. Now I am going to see a doctor about this, but I am also interested in learning what the natural cures for gout are, so that I can weigh my options.
