I went to an urgent care place, got diagnosed by the doctor with gout and was prescribed a five day course of prednisone (specifically because I told him I have cirrhosis, since normally anti-inflammatories are prescribed.) Given that my hepatologist seems to vanish into the mist between appointments (messages are ignored), I'm trusting the urgent care guy and starting the course.

Does anyone have experience of dealing with gout itself, gout-related medications / therapies?
