Over-the-counter gout treatment

Ar there any non-prescription reliefs for a gout attack? It has been 8 years since my last serious attack, but this one is a doozy! I am between coverage for health care and will be another month before I get my VA benefits started again. Any ideas for relief will be appreciated.

Try black cherry extract. It is for gout. I personally do not have gout but I take it for my arthritis. It works wonders. Here is a link to the brand I use. I usually get it at the health food store but will be buying off the internet this month because it is about half the price. http://www.nowfoods.com/Products/M013112.htm     Hope this is helpful, best of luck to you.

Nothing will hurry your present attack up in my experience but as a fellow sufferer I also take black cherry concentrate - one tablespoon a day in some milk. As you know the pain is indescribable, and I.m not going to say that since I started on the concentrate I haven't had an attack because it's like saying you havent had a flat tyre for a long time.....next thing, you know what. BUT I'm convinced 100% that the Black Cherry concentrate is a miracle treatment. No kidding. I've been taking it for 2 years. I buy it online from 'I Herb' and I buy Natures Best brand. Get it shipped to Australia by mail. Try it Mate!! you won't be sorry.
sorry about your attack but it won't last much longer..
good luck
