Prednisone
"Been using Colchicine for 3 days with no improvement (I cannot take NSAIDs) I went to the Drs for an emergency appointment this morning and was given prednisone. The Dr said himself it is a miracle drug - as he himself has suffered from Gout. Within 2 hours I could really feel signs of improvement (gout in ankle) Now 4 hours and I've just been able to run up the stairs. Still a bit of pain but its only been 4 hours. Very impressed so far !"
