Attack Prone

Want to hear something odd?  About a month ago, I got the results of my latest blood test.  Apparently, my uric acid level is mid-range normal. Imagine that! But here's the twist.  The very day that I was getting the results, I was also limping since I was in the middle of a gout attack.  Say what?

Rewind a week or so.  I felt great so I decided to play badminton.  And I had an intense 2-hour session.  That afternoon, I was already in pain.  And so my almost 1-year attack ceasefire was broken.   Sigh.  So anyway, a few days later I was still in pain and I was hobbling around St. Lukes, celebrating my normal uric acid level. 

The even funnier thing is that I had Dengue right after this attack.  I guess I should think twice before playing badminton again.  It brings about bad health things. And I wasn't even that good when I played!
