Better get use to it. Doctors tend to inform on a need to know basis. Their need not yours. There is a common drug prescribed for gout symptoms. Cant remember name now but wife used it for a few years until her diet changes got rid of it for good. I believe it was called indocin (sp). Ask about it with one of your doctors or your pharmacist then make sure you can take it with the Levadopa if your still on that.
