Was wondering what is this new miracle drug for gout and is it available in New Zealand yet?

Hello.
Im one of the unfortunate millions of sufferers of gout who probably thinks that no one could possibly suffer more than myself.I have had the early symptoms since my mid 20's,eg.swollen ankle but no pain. During the early 90's i got the classic swollen toe and since then i have suffered cronically.in the past 15 years i have had gout everywhere exept my tongue, the worst being my knee.
I am prepared for any news on gout or any radical treatments.i started allopurinol on Febuary 10, 2010. i have been taking it every day , today being the 05/04/2010, so about 2 months. it has been the worst 2 months of my entire life.Till now i have never had gout in 2 joints at the same time. Now i have had gout in the same joints continuously for 2 months.My wrist and my right ankle.I am from new Zealand. I pray for this new drug and a chance to be considered a trial particpant.
Yours sincerely
Mo
