New way for me to miss races

My Dr. prescribed me 2000 mg of Niacin a day because my Good cholesterol was very low. What he didn't tell me is high doses of Niacin give you gout.
When I complained about a month later that my joints were bothering me his reply was "Oh, I forgot to tell you"Sometimes medicine side affects are worse that what they help.Just puttin' it out there.
