gouty arthritis
"I've never written a review on anything really, but I thought it was important in this case.  I've been dealing with Gout for probably 15 years. I was essentially given 2 choices, go on Allopurinol and hopefully prevent myself from getting flare-ups.  However, I'd have to take a pill every day, and this medication has upset my stomach in the past.  Option 2 is to treat a flare-up when it happens with medication, and I went this route, colcichine being the medication to treat this.  The problem is it never seems to work, and I recently had an awful bout of Gout.  I was given prednisone, and it really worked miracles.  I was probably about 70% better after 1 full day, and now almost 100% after 3 days.  I'm beyond happy about this medication!"
