Fellow gout person here. I was finally prescribed allopurinol but I am not sure I want to take it long term due to the chance that it could cause liver and kidney damage but I need to do more research. Fortunately gout can be controlled fairly well with diet but in the midst of a flare up, it is excruciating.
