Gout, a disease long known through history as "The Disease of Kings" or the "Rich Man's disease", is a severely painful condition caused from too much uric acid (monosodium urate) in the body.
When your body has too much uric acid (a condition known as "hyperuricemia"), some of these needle-shaped crystals tend to deposit outside the bloodstream, often around a joint. When such deposits develop and cause pain, the condition is termed "gout".
Thanks Mom and Dad for raising me on a 70% chicken diet. I'd take a great BBQ chicken over steak any day of the week. (In some circles, that's almost as bad as being a Green Bay Packer fan, but so be it.)
you're in fairly good company here, md. however if there's no bbq sauce around (or anything else to keep the chicken from getting too dry), give me the steak.
best place for steak: doolittle's at cedar and cliff road in eagan. theyv'e got a gorgonzola cream sauce they smother the steak in that is to die for. we're pretty sure tc has managed to recreate the sauce too :smile:
Just have to share this healthy chicken recipe! It has become a favorite. TNWTDWTMC makes it for company all the time and she says even the pickiest kids like it, and the adults all want the recipe.
I made up a spice shaker with enough of the spices (below) to use for quite a few recipes. Cuts the prep time to almost nothing.
Garlic Lime Chicken (Serves 6)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon thyme
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil (I skip the butter and use 4 tablespoons olive oil)
1/2 cup chicken broth
4 tablespoons lime juice
Mix together first 7 ingredients. Sprinkle mixture on both sides of chicken breasts.
In a skillet, heat butter and olive oil together over medium high heat. Saute chicken until golden brown on each side, until no longer pink in the center. Remove chicken and add lime juice and chicken broth to the pan, whisking up the browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Keep cooking until sauce has reduced slightly. Add chicken back to the pan to thoroughly coat and serve.
Serving suggestions include on pasta, or with mashed potatoes or rice on the side. The leftovers make the BEST chicken noodle soup I've ever had.
Good stuff :smile: I got my first can of Tony Chachere's on my deployment from some guy from Louisiana... Think I've bought 2 more cans since then (3 years or so)
Question: Is Cluey's pain a side effect of switching pain meds or trying to reduce the amount of some of them? Sometimes the 'detox' off those things is more painful than the original pain. I dunno if he's been on any of them long enough to get 'hooked' - and if he's still got real chest pain, the narcotic effect should be minimal --- just thinkin' out loud here...
basically a nurse comes out 1 or more times a week to draw blood or check up on him. A doctor (Kravitz) called last week and said the blood work one day had shown that cm was showing alergic reactions to the antibiotic they were giving him so the doc was taking him off of that one and put him on a different one. The test for gout came back negative and the test for the R. Arthritist came back still looking in the early stages so that shouldn't be it. They drove out to see Kravitz and just got out. Kravitz said this was the alergic reaction to the 1st antibiotic! oiwe ve!!!! smack hand on head!!!! smack head on desk!!!! smack head against wall!!!! now my hand hurts :wink:
The doctor couldn't have asked him if he was feeling any alergic reaction OR if cm noticed anything different that day??? he has been in serious pain ever since. Thank goodness though that his mom got him in to this appt.
Kravitz is an excellent doctor and ties for my favorite so far with another doc that has seen cm, I'm just suprised he didn't ask.
The doc prescribed him Protozone? for this "serum sickness" and said he should notice a change in swelling with in 6 hours and a difference in the pain within 12. THANK GOD! FINALLY!
My dad was messed up for about 2 months after his heart surgery until they got the pills and dosage correct... unfortunately its all trial and error as every person responds differently to the surgery and the pills...
it took me forever to get to this page by my cellphone. only have this trial til tomorrow and have just now had time toplay with the internet. feel better cluey. yeah steak.
whit says something about kicks...i mean hugs :sillygrin:
Cluey or Kitch - any chance we can put a link to the Football Pick 'em Yahoo Page somewhere in the header? I'm guessing all we can do is post a link to the login page since a direct link to "our" page doesn't work unless you're already logged into Yahoo. Thankx.
The same salt retention that accounts for the excessive thirst and urination may also be a problem for heart failure patients or other patients who require sodium restriction.
What other drugs will affect prednisone?
a blood thinner such as warfarin (Coumadin);
antibiotics such as ketoconazole (Nizoral), rifampin (Rifadin, Rifater, Rifamate, Rimactane), or troleandomycin (Tao); or
The lady pulled it out way too slow and the guy wasn't wearing any protective gloves or mask. I'm glad I had my nurse pull mine out. She was way cautious throughout the whole month. I'm going to miss her.
This thread is a testimony of how awesome this Cooler Crew family really is. You guys continually blow my mind with your care and concern. I can't thank you enough for everything you've done to help me along this long road of recovery. From those of you who visited me in the hospital and at home to those who sent cards or gifts to those who simply post their support; you all really know how to make a person humble. I am blessed to know such caring people.

I hope IAN doesn't get it :wink:
well. i think we figured out that problem then. :smile:
I think they need to change the name of the ailment
they all say the steak and wine is worth the pains
I love both chicken and steak though - usually get chicken cause its cheaper- no kings queen here :frown:

My brother-in-law's "secret" BBQ Chicken Recipie is nothing more than this stuff and a little KC Masterpiece BBQ added at the end. Good stuff!
ICK...and I miss ....oh shoot what the name....place on west 7th that had ribs...and their own sauce...grrr don't recall it...
was blue bottles
Carolyn can tell you, cause she's found out recently, that I can do some mean burgers on the grill..
I learned well, from my dad.... and use his seasoning mix just right.... sometimes adding my own flair in, here or there....
Lowrys season salt, goes a long way for me though.... I seem to use a little of it, on lots of stuff that I make....
nights are worse than days and days are worse than nights.

His chest is healing beautifully.

If this doc doesn't come up with something NOW than he needs to be admitted somewhere fast.
doctor only upped the dose of the prednisone stuff and changed Vicodine to Vicodine ES and said they would see him on Tuesday.
I'm incredibly worried. I asked if the doc had a backup plan and he said it didn't look like it.
I'm not real sure the difference between the reg and the es.
besides 5.0/500 and 7.5/750? does that look right?
:worried: :worried: :worried:
down the 405
to the 101 to my house

and when I told you I was happy I lied
I lied I lied I lied...

and I'm feeling so bad and so good
I don't know what to do...

cause I can't go back I'm out too far
and I'm thinking I'm thinking
I'm thinking that you know how it feels
so get in your car and drive
and I can tell you that I'll try
I'll try I'll try I'll try
and I've got vicodin do you wanna come over
I know it's a long drive from malibu
I got a pocket full of pills and not one lover
and I'm feeling so bad and so good
I don't know what to do...
it's in your face
I know that place you're going to
I'll follow you
I'll meet you there
don't bring a thing for me
I'll take care I'll take care
and I've got vicodin do you wanna come over
I know it's a long drive from malibu
I got a pocket full of pills and not one lover
and I'm feeling so bad and so good
I don't know what to do...
