I know what it's like to feel gouty.
My wife knows what it's like to live with gout-ridden GoutPal.
A big Thank You, to sufferers and carers, for visiting my website.
I built this site for myself to try and help me understand gout.
I'm overwhelmed by the kind responses and thanks that I've received.
I want to thank you for showing an interest.
I try to keep explanations simple because I know that if you understand gouty arthritis (another term for gout), then you'll deal with it better. Whenever you find anything that isn't clear, please ask me your
gout question.
I love it when people contact me. If it's a question I can answer, you make it easy for me to improve my website. If I don't know the answer it's a great stimulus for me to find out.
Of course, if you don't contact me I can't thank you in person. Even so, I want to let you know that seeing my visitor numbers grow gives me a real buzz. If you are one of the silent majority here's telling you - I'm grateful.
Can You Help Me?
First, let me make it clear that I do not expect anything from my visitors. I want you to get gouty information and that's it. A few visitors have asked if they can do something in return. One in particular has inspired me to add this thank you page, but more of that later.
There are a few things you can do to help, but remember - no obligation.
Feedback
I love this so much, that I've added a new section - Your Gout. This ties together some of my earlier gout questions and polls. It adds new ways for you to get involved so we can all work together to improve our gouty lives.
Tell a friend
On-line in a forum, or off-line when you talk with friends, I appreciate a mention. If you know anyone who has gout, or cares for a sufferer, then send 'em to GoutPal.
Tell me what you want
If you don't see what you want then tell me about your gout related needs. Many people ask me about specific products or services that I haven't yet reviewed. If you want to know more about a gouty product or service, please ask me on this form.
2009 Update: GoutPal Moving
GoutPal is moving to a new platform and so this form is closed during the move.
If the service or product that you're looking for isn't gouty, then I've added a couple of general search forms below. I've always found Amazon quality good, and this hasn't changed as they've expanded beyond books. Prices are usually good too, and delivery is excellent.
USA (worldwide delivery)
UK (worldwide delivery)
If you can't find it on Amazon, then Google is bound to find a supplier for you.
Donation
I got a lovely email yesterday. I'm still walking on air. It reads
GoutPal website is awesome.
After 5 years of being the family Gout expert
I can finally send them to your site.
..... would like to send you $5.00 to help with expenses.
Address or Paypal will do.
Nothing says thank you like 5 bucks.
Great job on the site!
That email was so good, I can't put a value on it. If you feel the same, I've added this donation button.
