BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS

Hi Ted... After 12 years with gout, I have tophi on the side of my right big toe joint. I've been on the ACV BS combo for about 8 days now and I'm going through periods of bliss when I experience no pain in my feet/ankles albeit stiffness (I suppose from 12 years of gout), but also some days of pain in my toe joints - not full blown flare, but minor. I know that the ACV BS melts the tophi and uric crystals and I read you saying it would take about a month of so to see real effects, so I'm wondering how to tell if the pain is actually the combo working to melt the uric crystals or not.
