The only medicines that work for me is a combination of 300mg allopurinol to lower the production of uric acid and colchicine in a small 5mg tablet (i think) that acts as a diuretic to flush the urates out...I use them daily to prevent attacks..if i miss out..then an attack begins..
Oh and mine is also congenital...Both my parents have it also but not as bad as mine though..they can get away with eating peanuts and liver..I can't.
The painkillers I use are kind of strong..the first one is etoricoxib aka Arcoxia, it's non-steroidal(not available in the US, you need to know someone across the border to bring it to you) and dexamethasone aka Decilone Forte, a steroid...only for extreme cases in which I need to be able to walk to get to the doctor
