Losing Virginity to GOUT
Was hesitating whether to blog on the current mode of mood. Yet, KuKuJian.com has been a little personal platform to unleash sometimes. It’s been a summer coming back haunted with health events tat is currently circulating within the loop among pa, ma and myself.
Few days before flying back from Uppsala, ma dropped me an email, saying tat pa is staying overnight in Kuala Lumpur General Hospital (KLGH). Apparently, he felt some numbness on his fingers and finally surrendered and went for doctors consultation. He didn’t know it was THAT serious. Pa’s blood pressure was 180/110, doctor wanted him to stay in hospital tat night itself.
Uncle, when u have blood pressure one ar?
Which pa still have the humour to answer:
Doctor, since i was born, without blood pressure i wouldn’t be here now la..
The actual word shud be HIGH blood pressure, the doctor must be thinking, this fella’s pressure high till insulting my professionalism. But the next statement really shocked pa:
ok uncle, u stay here ha, i’ll arrange an ambulance for u.
Still pretty stubborn and rebellious unbelieving and defending.
But doctor, i can drive myself to the hospital
No no uncle, u sit here, don’t worry bout ur car, later i ask for a wheel chair and the ambulance would be ready very fast one
He rejected and signed a document of release and self responsibility for not staying tat night. Few days later, a 2nd checkup reveals similar result and this time pa was mentally prepared to not fightback, giving in to reality.
And thus spending 2 nights with the nurses and overlooking beautiful scenery of Kuala Lumpur city center, pa was monitored and then released with medications, now, joining ma for medicine consumption sessions together gather.
Ma has started her treatment many years back but on Saturday, we went to Pathlab in Old Town together for her fasting plasma glucose check up. Ma’s been under medication for the past 2 weeks ++ and doctor ask her to do this check after 2 weeks of medication. The result was just faxed in few minutes ago. Pa showed the slip to me, and it was the exact same high reading as b4 starting the medication. We were both upset as well and not sure how to disclose this to ma. Eventually ma knew, and she is pretty weepy now. I feel upset, pretty down seeing ma looking like tat, though i can see ma is trying real hard to portray a normal face. We then did our own post-moterm session in the living room and read one of the HBP pills info, which has side effects of increasing the body’s glucose level, which could be the cause of ma’s result. A clash of treatments?? More on with more information in the coming days..
To join the bandwagon, i found myself having little pain and stiffness on my left foot big toe. The next day, it felt as though i twisted or sprained it. The pain and smell swell grew tremendously and i can barely sleep that night. The next morning, i knew something ain’t right as i hardly remember kicking or tripping over anything. We were suspecting that it was a bee sting. Yet, no bee stinger was found anywhere around, within, inside the toe. Surrendered and went to the nearest clinic here in Gasing Indah.
1st thing when the doctor saw it, he asked me wat have i been eating yesterday. Crab.. almost 2-3 of them. And doctor followed up by saying tat i have GOUT. Fuck. I heard tat term b4 when wanching’s hubby, TG had it sometime last year and is really painful and can hardly walk sometimes. Fuck.
Try not to focus on my leg hairs, i’ll not be pissed but u are suppose to compare the size of toes.
Doctor wanted to inject my butt. Fuck! I kinda hesitated but when he say if it’s my arm i can’t move it for the rest of the day, i chickened and pussily unbutton my pants and unzip my flyers. Don’t think i blushed though. While i was lying face down wards with my pants loosen and slightly pulled down, he look over to ma and say tat he’s gonna inject my ass with Voltaren. Sounded real damn familiar and could easily be in my allergic list. Being unsure, the doctor refrained from injecting my left ass to avoid me having a multiplied and enlarged size penis swollen body all over.
The doctor rejected injecting my butt. A few other alternatives aka Aspirin and ponstan, the doctor kinda went blank, opened up his drawer and took a grey-greenish pill and ask me to swallow this down.
And thus my subscription, Arcoxia for pain killing and Papase for swell reducing (papase is apparently formulated from papaya, and cuz it’s so, many think it’s not profitable and thus made unavailable, hmm.. i’m consuming it though, papaya pills).
Along with this, sore throat and several ulcers in my mouth. Probably due to insufficient and incapable of sleep due to my moaning of pain from my big fat toe. @$%@!$#%$!#@@!
Days with controlled and boring foot and food.

June 24th, 2008 at 12:38 pm
hmm…no wonder you are not coming over la..get well soon and lets meet up after that
June 24th, 2008 at 12:53 pm
Ulser you need Orrepaste
Sore Thoght you need Diaflam..
June 24th, 2008 at 11:40 pm
Dude, get well soon… i was paying a visit to HKL daily for blood test on Dengue fever… and today and yesterday to accompany my mom to see the doctor.
June 25th, 2008 at 6:20 am
Sorry to hear bout these events. Hope your Pa’s HBP gets under control. And your big fat toe, blame it on Malaysian food huh? Welcoming home you this way… eheh. Get well soon!
Oh so now we know if Papase is unavailable can straight go for the real thing, the papayas. Kukujian.com says one. If Papayas unavailable can go for the other ‘papayas’.
Ok that was lame but hey, cheers ;p
I have ulcers too. I have been salting it daily. The sensation that comes with it is orgasmic. Everytime. Two ulcers next to each other in one location. I haven’t been having enough sleep too. I thought of taking a good rest once I get home.
June 25th, 2008 at 6:54 pm
yl, let’s look out for another slot wat say u, limping limping walking towards u u sure laugh one lor.. :)
takaru, sure thing guy.. i’ll RUN towards u sometime next week..
Pin, wow.. seems like ur knowledge and experience from ur previous ahem ahem still sticking deep with u ei? comes in real handy!
TZ my man, some kinda bond u having with HKL? :) kidding yea.. hope everything is fine with u and mom..
narrowband, yes bro u got it right, but just to clarify it further.. consume the green papaya, as in the not ripe period of it. Redded papaya might not have the supposing effects and thus KuKuJian does not hold any responsibility for misinforming. haha u still have ur super humour around with u.. *giving gay look* Take it cool on the ulcers, dun la sensationize ur ulcer so much la, later they get high and make out more to multiply then u know.. get more rest bro and we meet up!
*current update*
Thanks for all ur wishes, the swell is still lingering around, though the sensation is reducing, maybe due to the super new discovery painkiller effect? Will be heading for another trip with pa and ma tmr.. 630am flight, hope tat either 1 of us 3 can wake up in time..
June 25th, 2008 at 7:57 pm
sorry late reply dude… and NO BEANS!!! tho u can watch Mr Bean… u take good care of urself and ur pa and ma.. =)

TG also takes Arcoxia. Poor jian.
Never expect you will get a GOUT! Be careful on your food intake. No beef, lamb, pork and seafood. Chicken and fish (except Salmon) are fine. Green vegetables are good for you.
Secret recipe… try to boil Panda leaves with water to drink. TG drinks it everyday.
Hope to see you soon… I show you my son, dylan. :)

I am compelled to say something since my name has been mentioned here as if i am the Father of Gout… which might not be far from likely.
I first got gout when I was 30yrs old, and i think you are even younger than that? Wow, you are the first guy who I know has gout younger than me then!
i feel like i should say something positive to cheer you up, but omg…. i really cant think of any good side of having gout!
Avoid seafood, ikanbilis, keropok, beans, peanuts,drink lots of water and have lots of exercise to sweat it out. Basically avoid all the yummy food and keep a healthy life. What else is new?
Anyway, welcome back, and hope to see you soon so i can pass my years of gout experience to you!
June 27th, 2008 at 10:35 pm
Haha TG , I can’t stop launching seeing the way you describe ‘can’t think of good side..’. Jian, let me say something good… they are still few things you can do without your toes. Anyway, you are lucky, it doesnt happen to your finger, then susah for you to dig your nose. Try learn more from TG, he is father of Gout, and you are youngest - both are campions

[...] it is not always you get present made-in-sweden. Jian, gout’ed, still make his way to visit us in the office with some swedish alcohol and chocolate. Jian Alcohol [...]

SimpleAlex, thanks for the wishes, no beans no beans ahhh i like beans la!
Wan Ching, good to know on the panda leaves secret recipe! Had just threw couple of pandan leaves on the soil and hopefully it will grow faster than my gout!
TG gout sifu!! words of encouragement is not easy i know but u tried and i’m glad tat u shared some of ur personal knowledge on this! But no ikanbilis? u kidding me? I’m the budak ikanbilis laa! Rather feel pain than not consuming those cute little anchovies! There must be a way to compromise on this.. ahh.. can’t wait to hear ur gouty stories.. :)
Pin, haha saying the champion word is pretty confusing, dunno shud be happy or not. Hope it doesn’t spread much around ok? Ei, u dun make fun of the gout’ed, u’ll probably be infected.. come la, join the goutey gang..
July 10th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
well, let’s accept it - HBP, gout, high uric acid, high glucose … etc. are all urban diseases that everyone of us will get, if we are not living healthily. But how? Hopefully, Kukujian will let us know next?
July 16th, 2008 at 1:27 pm
Mah, urban diseases it is.. healthy living with happy lifestyle.. not as easy as it’s been said!

try Fitline if you can find a consultant somewhere (it’s MLM, but the product’s really effective). I don’t sell it, just take it, but it’s done wonders for me. No longer get really tired in the middle of the day and I haven’t been sick for the whole year (used to at least get the flu every other month or so)
