Guest guest Posted May 29, 2001 Report Share Posted May 29, 2001 <P> dear sam, i ,am the mother of a 33 yr old daughter that has this yr been diagnosed with igan , she first found out when she was pregnant with her 5 yr old daughter , the doctors & nbsp; told her it was just her harmones and that the blood woould go away and the protien would straighten out in time. well here it is five yrs later and & nbsp; her blood pressure went out of control so they ( her md) decided to send her to a nerph and see what he thoought since she was still spilling a large amont of blood and protien in her urine. she is now on a ace in hibitor and on fish oil. she takes 4 aday , her blood pressure is at a normal range for her and her blood work was normal the last time the lab took it so , i say this with out really any reason than right now something is working ! so if it does not hurt you might want to try to get him to take the fish oil . the doctor said there was no cure but the fish oil and keeping her blood pressure down is a treatment and she was in the 80 to 90 % of people that coould live a almost a normal life span , i sure hope so . well i just wanted to put my 2 cents in and i hope i did not step on anyones toes but anything is worth trying exspecially if it does & nbsp; not effect you in any harmful way. and oh yes she does have alot of sore throats and she is thinking about having her toncils taken out since they make iga bacteria.. hope this helps u alittle . brenda <P> & nbsp; <B><I> Farr & lt;phaedre23@... & gt;</I></B> wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE style= " BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px " ><TT><BR>Thank you Pete, your response was really helpful. <BR><BR>I'll shut up about the fish oil and tonsils and hope<BR>for the best.<BR><BR>Just wish there was something that could be done to<BR>keep him safe from a recurrence.
