last July, an Uncle suggested 1 colchicine twice a week, which I actually was trying to do, for a better part of the last 6 months, but that stuff is awful & also wasn't adequate to prevent another flare up

I intentionally cut back on my hydration regime, last Fall & into this Spring, so that was probably a mistake. back on lemon water twice a day & back hydrating more

1 flare up pr year isn't too bad, I guess

gonna sneak a little animal meat back into my diet in the coming days / weeks. also looking forward to a shot & a beer sometime in the coming weeks
