Chart of the number of months taken for uric acid crystals to dissolve after starting urate lowering treatment. 18 gout sufferers took between 3 and 33 months for all uric acid crystals to disappear from synovial fluid samples.

Used to illustrate the article describing the time taken for uric acid crystals to dissolve.

Not gout related. I created this image for a joke (almost) response to a gout forum discussion about diet. It is inspired by Frank Skinner’s joke (almost) about the baby food diet fad and Reese Witherspoon.

For the lead image on my Home Remedies For Gout page, I couldn’t resist this photo from flickr.

Big time water drinker from Drew Stephens says it all – Drink Water – Big Time. OK, 5 gallons a time might be just a little too much, but if you have gout, you need to get the water habit.

Gout sufferers worry about how sauna and other sweat inducing activities affect gout. I picked this fiery image for my gout and sauna article to reflect the heat of a fierce gout attack.

When I wrote about gout and sweat, I didn’t particularly want to produce images of sweating people. Gout patients really need to focus on what might make them sweat, as well as understand the effects of sweating on gout. As I was inspired to write this by a question about the benefits of sauna, what better than a picture of a sauna fire.

I particularly like this image.

I’m grateful to brkl at morgueFile.com for this hot image.

Chart showing how the incidence of gout falls with lower uric acid.

So very small
