The beginning of my genetic disposition.

it started after Eugenie's graduation, june 14/13. my bunion becomes swollen, why?  I soon realized this is not due to shoe problem.  I am really into GOUT ATTACK. reality hit me hard.  what did I eat that causes this flare-up? thinking back, week-after-week.... BEETS.  I have been consuming this smoothie drink for about a month , frozen, blender mixture, then mixed with other juices.  upon researching, there was no indication whatsoever that this veggie can cause gout-attack.  however, I decided this is the only food that I have been consuming like crazy for the last week or so. I have 2 more days to recuperate before the weekend.  this is the time for me to walk around and volunteer.  today, I am halfway there.  the middle left toe was swollen last night.  so typical reactions.  I have taken 2 Tylenols so far.  
I need to be more careful about the foods I eat.  no more beans, I will try not to eat the same food until forever and ever.  I felt my father's pain , my brother Pol's pain.. and now my turn to experienced the pain they have experienced.  truly painful.  around 7 level.  I wonder whether this gout attack will be a regular company or will it be due to food source?? As I recollect my previous flare-up memories, I already had few episodes of this swollen middle toe.  gout attacks the joints of the feet bones. must see dr. p.  this month is full of medical mission.  needed to see a new eye doctor about my cataract. I am heading the old age direction.  no escape.  the visit to dr pilarski was a success.  she prescribed colchicine 0.6 mg.  the bunion was really the cause of the pain.. not necessarily the arthritis.
