counquering gout arthritis 2

Thanks for following these articles about my personal experience with gout arthritis, and I hope at the end you will find wisdom that will somehow help you cure this sickness.

I began noticing my gout arthritis attack on my 20’s onward, at first I was so ignorant about it and doesn’t even know that it was gout, but when it frequently gets on the way, specially when I’m on my late 30’s then I began to made some researching to understand and learn about my thorn of the flesh which is gout.

I was the sixth sibling among 8 children and I was the one who got the first sign of inherited gout related sickness, later on my other brothers seems to have also as they share the same symptoms that happened to me. By family health history I found out that my grandmother had this sickness, I don’t know back then back when she was still alive because I’m frequently visiting my grandma’s home and oftentimes she was sick and in pain of not known thing from me, she died in old age bearing the pain, able to bear the excruciating pain I can imagine.

My dad was the first born among the sixth children, and by his young age he learns the craft of being a farmer helping my grandfather on farm works. He barely finish his 4rth grade then give himself thoroughly on farming until she met my mom and got married and there they made 8 children wherein I am the sixth. I was on my teenage years when I began to notice my dad’s painful ordeal about his sickness unknown to me those days, in my toddler’s years we used to jump and play and sometimes accidentally step or touch his aching feet and oh! If only I knew then how painful it is I will understand why we need to be shouted to stop playing around near my dad whenever he is sick.

He was on his 70’s when the thing oppressed him badly and for years he barely walk and oftentimes bed ridden with red swollen feet and knees, at this point of time I understand the pain he suffers and I cant stand the sight, oftentimes he find relief for taking pain relief like diclofenac . But my dad is a meat lover and he really likes fried liver and he won’t eat without one, so that make things more worse for his gout.

Later on he develop psoriasis arthritis and his skin began to develop scales like dandruff and its falling like ashes on his bed and its very itchy. His psoriasis covers all his skin from toe to head and he scratches his body all day and all night and sleeping is a relief from the burning sensation of itchiness of psoriasis but oftentimes waking up asking my mom to scratch his back. I used to see the falling scales from my dad and I was shocked of it, his skin scales off and falling whenever scratches and the sight of it is horrible. The sight of falling scaled skin are all over my dads bed, then ants came, I mean many ants and they feast on those scaled skin that have fallen from my dad, oh! I was shocked to death by the sight of it. then we have to move my dads bed to another corner to get rid of the ants but later on found their way again to the falling scales from my dad, and now they used to climb up unto my dads bed and bite on his scaled peeling skin and mind its horrible and I really have felt pity on my dad. Then we used to put my dads bed foot on canister with water to keep ants from accessing my dads bed and that helps the problem from the ants that feeds on my dads skin, but they keep on taking the fallen skin that have fallen from my dads bed to the ground and when given a chance they climb still on my dads and bit on my dad.

We often rushed him to hospital, especially when my dad’s health fails, and later before he died he began to loose his appetite in eating and oftentimes won’t eat. I was on his bed the day he died, and I was there scratching his back for some relief of all the pain and itchiness he had felt because of these sicknesses.

My dad died in August 7, 2006 he died in search for some relief of the pain he have felt, he died with a wish that the pain he felt and the sickness he suffers shall end with him and that nobody will suffer the same. I wish that too but that will remain a wish because we are living in a world of pain and each individual and person have within him the curse of sickness that we inherited as a man.

But I believed we can do something about it, I know relief is also within us and if we only know how, then we will find the freedom away from all the pain and sickness and enjoy life at the fullest.

I wake up in the middle of the night which is very unusual for me whenever I am sleeping. On that day I have felt a little bit of pain around my toe which I presumed that the pain was due to the reason that arises whenever you accidentally stumbled or have hit some rock or wood when walking. But that night the pain around my toe are getting worse and painful as hour passes by, that at the middle of the night I have to wake up because of unbearable pain which I have never felt before in all my life. I was on my 20’s at that time and I can’t forget how I cried because of that unexplained pain that have oppressed me that day.

The night seems so long for me at that situation and God knows how I wish for the daybreak to come and find some relief of the intense pain I suffered the whole night. At last morning had come and the hope of relief seems so near. I walk limping and I hardly staggered for my way to a known person whom I have known to cure some bones dislocation and sprains near our place.

I can’t figure it out how do I look or how my facial expression looks at that time, but when I finally reach the healers house I thought relief was on the way. I told the lady about my toe and all the pain I felt, oh! Mind you it was a terrible pain, so she also presumed that maybe I have a dislocated joints that makes the burning inflammation around my toe, so she hold my toe and twist it and turn it and pull it oh! I almost collapsed because of the excruciating pain that turning and twisting and pulling have caused me, I thought that pain will never end and it almost killed me and if dying would be painful like that, I will tell you I don’t want to die and feel that pain again.

At last I overcame that ordeal, and I cursed that placed to never be back again, the pain I have after that healing session seems doubled rather that to eased up, and I went home so sad and hurt knowing not what to do because of my aching inflamed toe.

I don’t know how it heals then but it takes a week for it to subsides, unfortunately physician or doctors are far from our place and going to them will be so costly and being on a poor family the money to pay the doctor if there is any will rather be spend for the food and nothing more.

That thing never came back again for I think a year or so, I thought it will never be back but I was wrong for it attacks me at least once a year, and the pain, that excruciating pain have torment me again and again.

At last I found the culprits and know about my thorn of the flesh, it was actually in me, a part of me, something which I inherited from my biological father who also doesn’t know either their sickness because of lack of education and information and of not consulting to physicians and doctors. I have gout arthritis and I got it from my father genes that he inherited also from my grandmother who has suffered severely of gout arthritis not even tasting a relief of pain before she dies.

I’m so very ignorant at that time about this kind of sickness and because it seldom attack me I carelessly ignore about it, but these have cost me a lot of troubles and even have lost my dad later who had died last August 7 2006, who was tormented by these arthritis unto his death. And I will try with all my best and of the information and knowledge I have acquired to write these articles for you my friend out there to serve as a great help and somehow a guide if you or your loved one’s or friend do have these kind of sickness.

So please bear with me and follow my blogs for you to learn something out from my own experience and what I have did to eased up and conquer my thorn of the flesh. And surely I will bare all my secrets about this issue….
