Only on the big toe joint, which is pretty typical

0.45mmol/L, compared to 0.36mmol/L while on allopurinol

Reference range is 0.20 to 0.42, I don't have the numbers from when I was having attacks.

The recent pain was because my toenails were long enough that they were pressed hard against the toe of my shoe (my right foot has about half a centimetre free space ahead of it with close trimmed nails). It wasn't gout at all.

It's good for the common user who's happy to use all Google services and can remember (or has written down) their credentials.

It's absolutely useless for those out of the Google ecosystem

It's annoying through to disastrous for people supporting other peoples' phones

Since I'm still eating that lean beef, I have also been eating tallow. It's funny, the main mod of /r/zerocarb always describes the limit on fat intake as nausea but I find I know I've had enough well before the nausea limit hits. I reckon that makes sense too - as a fat eating animal, we must get an idea of full before any ill effects kick in.

Even the carbs turning off the ability to tell when you've had enough makes sense when you consider how available carbs were when humans evolved far from the tropical forests where our ape forebears live eating fruit all day - it made sense for pre-agriculture humans to gorge on fruit during the month or so it was available, and put on fat for winter.

One thing I can say about this way of eating is your body really tells you what it wants and when you've had enough

Browse your own machine as if it's under alt.film.binaries but more so

That's a story from thousands of years ago. I don't think their standards for 1. Death; or 2. Veracity in stories were up to the standards we would like were it non fiction

Grave in this context just means deep. That's one of the meanings of grave

Brains fail catastrophically and unrecoverably pretty quickly after being starved of oxygen. I don't like the chances of the frozen people who hope to be reanimated in the future

Better now, maybe. The people in palliative care are drugged heavily if their condition is painful. I suppose it's different in different places.

The best selfish reason to be good to your children is that they might put you in care. It's better if you can age and die at home unless you have a really nasty death.

My best method is to kill the craving with meat. You don't crave when you're full. Of course that doesn't work when your meat is contaminated with sugar.

Maybe get some tallow and have 50g cubes ready for snacking to kill a craving. I think you'll only want protein when you're fat full
