>> As I said the other day, I see this one as a "put it in the water supply" drug.

I had had trouble with my knees for years until my doc just happened to notice my uric acid was out of whack, and he put me on it. He said most people think of gout in the toes, but it can affect other joints. Man, was he right. Pretty much eliminated my joint problems. I got off of it when my uric acid #s got "right" again, and the knee problems returned. So, I went back on it in spite of the #s, and once again my joint problems are gone.

That it has other benefits, great.
