Suffer from incredible pain in hands, feet, other joints coming from both gout and neuropathy. My ALT and AST increased from 50 to 250 and the other from within the range to 90. Can t take Alapurinol (sp.?) and stopped Acetaminophen. Wake up at night with burning hands and feet. Daytime brings pain from my changing feet. It s a nightmare. My primary doesn t want me to take pain medication. I went to specialist who is focused on my back. My gout doc can t do anything until my liver gets better and she spoke of becoming a vegetarian. I am 74 years old. Had two bouts of lung cancer. Hip replacement inbetween years. Severe lung disease before and after and am on 02 24/7. I m a fighter who has been going to the YMCA swimming when I could with 02 bottle on my back. Right now I am needing to live. But not with all the pain. Anyway, Oncologist is tracking what s going on in my brain 4 MRI s in 4 months. This Tues I think I will hear horrible news. What do I do with all of this? This pain in my feet and hands is on me when I am at my most vulnerable. Am I looking for a miracle? Uh Huh! Yup!
