For #2 I think you are exactly right about the cillin. The accounts I have want slang and abbreviations typed out. I can't find *cillin* as a word. If it were me, I would type penicillin. For #3, The turbinates are not obstructed would be correct. On #4 he is probably referring to Levothroid and just not pronouncing it clear. On #5 it may be *hydroxyamphetamine* I am not sure about *parobid*. And for #6 could the doc possibly be saying *probably laryngis*? Just a thought. I couldn't find anything else and I know my docs do that all the time. I hope I helped a little.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2000 Report Share Posted April 1, 2000 Jade, Here are some of the answers. 1. I am not sure about the pir part but it is Staph aureus that was cultured. Also I don't know about the S and R, sorry. 2. I would type " cillin " family in quotes. Do not type penicillin, as has been suggested by another post, since there are other cillin drugs, methicillin and oxacillin for example. 3. The inferior turbinates are not obstructed. 4. I hear Levothyroid all the time and am glad that you took the time to find out it is not a word. Many doctors do not realize that Levothroid does not have the " y " in it, as the generic form is levothyroxine. 5. Sorry, not sure about hydroxyamine. How about Pavabid, with sloppy handwriting it would look a lot like parobid. 6. I am not sure about this but could it somehow be presby larynges or some such? presby is a word beginning which denotes relationship to old age. No, I could not find presby larynges anywhere, but am wondering. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2001 Report Share Posted July 10, 2001 Nooo-body has ever heard of IgA nephropathy until someone says you have it! Your nephrologist doesn't sound to be very communicative. I have never heard of a nephrologist telling a patient that other organs are likely to fail sooner than the kidneys because of IgA nephropathy. However, what they will sometimes say to reassure a patient is that the odds are you will live to a ripe old age and something else will get you before the kidneys do. It's very rare (and debatable) for IgAN itself to affect other organs, although it's not impossible, and it mostly happens in cases where the IgAN itself is secondary to another disease like lupus and scleroderma, for example. Your nephrologist would have known and told you if you had this, unless he or she is totally incompetent. Now, nephrologists are usually very careful about offering predictions like 6 or 7 years, because it's almost impossible to guess until the later stages of renal failure. Are you certain your lab results are normal? If you have uncontrolled high blood pressure though, what happens is that this accelerates the rate of losing kidney function (because the high blood pressure itself damages the kidneys, on top of what the IgAN is doing to them). So, it's very, very important to work on blood pressure to keep it around 120/80. This can mean dietary modifications, exercise, but eventually, most of us who have high blood pressure induced by IgAN end up on 2 or 3 different blood pressure meds at the same time. Also, what your nephrologist may have meant is that the high blood pressure itself is a risk factor for other things besides the kidneys - like cardiovascular things. A stroke or a heart attack from long-time, uncontrolled high blood pressure will affect you a lot more than chronic kidney failure does. BUT, you do have to make sure that you really do have high blood pressure. This means it has to be measured correctly and on successive visits. The little home machine sometimes aren't very reliable on some people, plus people often forget that what matters is the at rest blood pressure (that means comfortably seated for at least 5 minutes, arm well-supported at heart level, not right after eating, and preferably not for a couple of hours after having anything with caffeine in it). The percentage of people who end up in complete renal failure from IgAN varies according to different sources, but it's in the area of 30%, that is, 30% or so of patients end up in end-stage renal failure between 10 and 25 years after diagnosis. Don't hold me to those exact percentages though -- but if they are correct, the majority will never reach end-stage renal disease, and there is no good way to predict who will and who won't, unless the disease is obviously rapidly-progressive. Don't know why you feel like you do, especially since we don't know your lab numbers for creatinine and proteinuria.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2001 Report Share Posted July 11, 2001 It seems to me that you need to see a nephrologist, right now. Ask your GP about a referral. I don't know that much about your medical system and I am a rabidly patriotic Canadian (big fan of the socialized medicine) so I'd rather not get into the issue of medical insurance but it seems to me that whatever your situation, you need to move heaven and earth to get your butt, (and your kidneys) into a nephro, now. There has to be some kind of contingency plan in the USA for people who can't afford insurance -- ask your doctor what it is. Call the hospital, ask them, sheesh go to emergency if you have to but see a specialist. And if it means selling something to pay for it, even your car or your home, I'd say do it. A comfortable standard of living is pretty meaningless if you're not alive. What I'm trying to say is; Take this seriously. Forget the support groups until you've seen a doctor. Untreated IgA leads to kidney failure and untreated kidney failure is fatal. --- lemac100us@... wrote: <HR> <html><body> <tt> Well lets see, & nbsp; About three years ago I was diagnosed<BR> with IGA nep. & nbsp; & nbsp; I had never heard of it, or known any one <BR> that ever had any type of Kidney problem.<BR> <BR> I was only able to see a nephrologist one time before I <BR> lost my insurance. & nbsp; And asking an M.D. questions about<BR> how can I tell if the pain in my sides are a result of my <BR> kidneys, or is it being caused by the pinched nerves in my<BR> low back?? & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; Well let's just say & quot;NOT & quot;<BR> <BR> I have always been vary active, and now there are times that all <BR> I want to do is stay in bed. & quot;I just feel like crap & quot;<BR> <BR> My blood pressure is way high & nbsp; even though I am taking pills.<BR> <BR> When I did have a chance to talk with the neprologist he told<BR> me that the problem with having IGA is that it attacks other <BR> organs, & nbsp; and that I would more than likely have more serious<BR> problems before my kidneys finally shut down.<BR> <BR> He said that I would probably have a hart attack, due to the <BR> blood pressure problem.<BR> <BR> He told me that he figured that it would take about 3-7 years.<BR> And that was almost three years ago. & nbsp; I told myself that he was <BR> full of it, & nbsp; But with the way that I have been feeling (I wounder)<BR> <BR> I know that there is no way out of this world alive & quot;BUT & quot;<BR> Not knowing what to expect or having access to answers is the pits. <BR> <BR> <BR> </tt> <br> <tt> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love milk-I don't drink as much as I use to-but I was beginning to wonder if it could have something to do with my attacks. Also, my doctor says my digoxin level only needs to be checked a couple times a year-I was under the impression that it was suppose to be checked once a month or every 2 months. Does anybody really know??? >> Hi, Kathy, My brother who is in permanent afib takes Digoxin, and his Dig level is checked only once a year now. Initially, it was checked every few days, then weeks, and finally months. Regarding the milk, I have thought that afib might be connected with milk, especially after a gastroenterologist told me that I may have lactose intolerance. Consequently, I decided to completely eliminate milk from my diet to see if the afib was affected, even though I have not yet had the lactose intolerance test. Because my afib usually starts with a sensation of extreme discomfort in the lower intestinal area (not the solar plexus for me, Vicki), I reasoned that anything I can do to help the stomach problem might also eliminate the afib. Cutting the milk and other dairy products has indeed helped the stomach, but I still have some problems although not as severe. The afib was apparently not affected by cutting the milk because I went into afib on schedule two days ago after two milkless weeks. I haven't given up hope, though. I will continue to avoid the milk, have the intolerance test, and see what happens with the afib. Best wishes, in Seattle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 30, 2001 Report Share Posted July 30, 2001 > Hi Group, > It's me again!! Just had a few questions. First of all, what is > ablations? > > Hi Kathy, At this present time AF can be treated in three ways . Medications Surgery ie the Maze Ablation. The Maze procedure developed by DR , this is very invasive surgery and in most cases the heart has to be stooped. There are surgical leasons cut into the Atria wall , 22 of these. This enables the faulty electoral circuits to be isolated and stops we hope AF.It is a very effective solution for AF and has a cure rate of 90%+. An ablation is the same but it is much less invasive a Catheter is put into on of your veins , usually in your groin. A map is built of your Atria showing where the itinerant pulses are coming from that may cause your AF. Then burned away using RF freqency. The cure rate for this procedure is around 40%. This is a new development in the treatment of AF , its about Four year sold. This is the way that medical teams are looking at the treatment of Af and in years to come will prove effective for a cure for us all. regards C ********************************************************************** This message may contain information which is confidential or privileged.
