gout, acute
"The 1st time I tried indomethacin, it was magic for gout.  I took it during flare up and half an hour later, I felt the pain dissipate like the feeling of your foot getting  'unslept' from being asleep. The side effects were horrible. I was dizzy, nauseous, had a headache, and wanted to puke.  So after the 1st time, I would only take it when I was about to go to sleep.  The 1st time tried indomethacin was 7 years ago.  I have flare ups once or twice a year since then.  Now though, I don't feel the side effects but the medicine has also stopped working.  Maybe I built a tolerance to it.  Before, I would take 2 tablets before I went to bed and I would wake up pain free."
