I also noticed that many of my gout flare ups have been when I'm under more stress than normal. That is how I found your article on-line. I have never read anything before about stress causing gout attacks and thought maybe I was just crazy. As of this point, I haven't been able to find a natural or over the counter relief for gout pain. I've tried dark cherry juice. It didn't help, just made me want to put vodka in it (which I didn't do because of the effects of alcohol and gout).
