Hi Gina, I hope you are not in pain too much. We had a dog with Leichsmaniosis as well and gave her tablets for a very long time. Afterwards she was tested and we could stop the treatment. It stays in the body but she never had it again. Hopefully it will work out as well for you guys

I've been on allopurinol for several years because I get gout. Ken, you would have a real problem if you had too much uric acid. As an example, if you rated mushrooms it would be 003. If you rated beer if would be 1800. I had to stop drinking beer because of the pain it caused. I did a lot of research on how much uric acid is in many foods so I moderate what I eat. Shell fish, very high, pomegranates 1800. Almost all veggies have a percentage or uric acid. I haven't had an attack in over 8 years. Believe me, it's very painful. Best to you and Gina and kiss on the nose of Mimo. Jane, Philadlephia

That building of the restaurant isn't from the 18th century, it's from the 16th century. The reference to the 18th century in the plaque is just to say that it changed owners at that time, from the Knights Templar to the municipal council. That plaque doesn't say when it was built but that building is well documented in historical records.
