Ocean, good to know you are already on Allopurinol. But if you still get regular attacks, perhaps your dosage needs an adjustment. And you must know Colchicine must be taken at the very beginning of an attack for it to actually work. And yes, mushroom is on the list. Don't forget to drink lots of water too.
I do agree with what Laotou said about TCM, but the problem with TCM is that it lacks the scientific analysis and accurate operational procedures, makes it open to the interpretations of individual practitioner, who, depends on his/hers level of professional understanding on the subject, often makes contradictory or confusing or even misdiagnosis. A lot of times, finding a good TCM doctor to treat a certain difficult illness is almost like playing a lottery game and hoping for a jackpot.
Ocean- Though I am not a sufferer of gout, I do know a thing or two about it. To control your diet may or may not reduce the frequency of the attack, and you must try to do it towards the goal of losing weight. The food that induces the attack contains high level of purines, like red meat, organ meat( liver, kidney), bacon, meat gravy and shellfish, many vegetables like spinach, mushroom, broccoli and beans are also included in the list, grain bran(whole grain) too. For infrequent attacks once in a long while, the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug such as ibuprofen will do. But if you have developed into a chronicle gout sufferer - upon lab confirmation, you will need to do labs to determine a proper daily dosage of 别嘌呤醇 Allopurinol 分类：抗痛风药. It is very important to find out what the proper dosage for your body to take on a daily bases, because Allopurinol has strong side effect to your kidney. The lab process lasts several weeks before a doctor can figure out a proper dosage. I am not sure you can find a good doctor who can do it in Kunming. Sorry, hope it will pass soon.
Go to your local police precinct ( Pai Chu Suo). I am sure they've done it for locals, so why not you? After that, take it to a notary place to get it translated into English and get notarized. Try it and let us know if it works.
Thank you all for the thoughtful and inspiring input. It's great to hear from other education-minded parents and professionals. Hopefully we will have more discussion on this head in the near future.
