Guest guest Posted December 28, 2000 Report Share Posted December 28, 2000 Thanks, Walt. took his first dose this morning and is already starving. This for a guy who had zero appetite. His urine is clear and he has color in his face. We just came back from getting blood drawn. His doctor wants to check and see that his creatine is going down. He is not on Lasix or an ACE inhibitor at the moment. Should I mention this to his doctor? I know he wants to gain weight, but he doesn't want to get fat. He is skinny in fact. How long have you been on prednisone? Does it affect your mood? > >Reply-To: iga-nephropathyegroups >To: iga-nephropathyegroups >Subject: Re: Our son >Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2000 04:17:18 -0000 > >Pamela: > >From what I understand, 80mg is about the high dose.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2000 Report Share Posted December 30, 2000 Hi Pam. I'll let Walt reply about the prednisone. About the ACE inhibitor though, my feeling about these things is that unless there is a really burning medical need to be on something, it's best not to start more drugs at the same time than one needs to. Otherwise, when someone starts on multiple drugs, fish oil etc. all at once, you have no way of knowing what is doing what, what is helping, and what isn't.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2000 Report Share Posted December 30, 2000 Walt, thanks for the encouragement. I think is now going through the angry phrase. For the first month he was in denial until this last hospitalization. He now realizes he has a serious disease. I know he is worried because he always asks if he will die from IgA. Of course, I tell him no. I am taking him to a nutritionist on Tuesday. He now has his foamy urine back, but no blood. > >Reply-To: iga-nephropathyegroups >To: iga-nephropathyegroups >Subject: Re: Our son >Date: Sat, 30 Dec 2000 19:19:14 -0000 > >Pierre is right. > >You have to add these things one at a time -- particularly if you are >adjusting Blood pressure.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2000 Report Share Posted December 31, 2000 Hi Pam, I'm Sophie, a french girl who has IGAN. I'm 25, and I learnt I had IGAN when I was 24. I think I understand your son. A day, he thought everthing was all right, and the day after, he had to live with a disease that nobody really know. I think I felt he same : angry, with always the same question : Why me, I'm only 24? And him, He is only 16 (or maybe 17??). Don't worry, let him the time to accept, he has to accept. Perhaps it's better for him to be angry so soon after knowing he was ill. It took me 6 months!! Before, I didn't want to hear a single word about the disease, I couldn't even think about telling me I had IGAN... If your son start again to go out , like if he was " invincible " , please don't think he thinks that. I made the same : it was only to make sure that I was still able to do the same things that my friends, and I did the double than them. My parents didn't really understand me untill I explained this to them. Ther is not a single way to react front of the announcement of the disease, but that was mine. If your son needs to speak, please make him write to the group, or if he prefers, give my adress to him (I'm not so far from his age, perhaps it will be easier for him). All that I know, it's that my anger is gone when I " met " the group, when I realised I was not alone with this disease. sure we can help him to accept (and it's not a little thing, as we say in french As for the prednisone, I've had my dosis (little and high) : I didn't notice that my mood was affected (Only a thing : my appetite had really grown!!): but I had to be carefull with the things I ate (like with salt or sugar). He has to met a " dietetician " (?!?), like Walt told you. Tell him that it's easy to leave with such a treatment : I made so great parties( 3 or 4 days long), on the beach, during the summer : just needed not to forget to take my grugs on mornings, and having some diet cookies (made with false sugar, and without salt) : if he really wants to do things, he can. regards, Sophie > De : " Pamela Zaheri " > Répondre à  : iga-nephropathyegroups > Date : Sat, 30 Dec 2000 19:55:42 -0600 > À : iga-nephropathyegroups > Objet : Re: Re: Our son > > Walt, thanks for the encouragement.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2000 Report Share Posted December 31, 2000 Pam: I was just diagnosed in early December 2000. At first it was denial and then anger. Mainly anger at the doctors for taking 10 years, 2 IVP's, 2 ultrasounds, 1 cystoscopy, 1 bone marrow biopsy, a ton of ua and 24 hr before finally doing the kidney biopsy which i was demanding inorder to finally diagnose me with this IgA Nephropathy. I think what has helped eased my anger is empowering myself and knowing all I can about this disease and taking some kind of control of it. I got a bottle of those Multistix dipsticks and check my urine and bp every am and log it in on my diary or whatever and I also got on the net and tried to get as much info about the disease. Perhaps for him it might do him some good to meet other teens who have the same disease and diagnosis to talk about how they deal with a chronic illness. Perhaps he can organize or become a part of a IgA/kidney disease walk a thon and donate the proceeds to an organization that researches this disease. Maybe he could start an online support group e-mmail list just for teens with this diagnosis or start one at the local hospital. Anger is good especially if it motivates him to channel it where he can do something positive about it. Perhaps he can do something about kidneys for a science fair project or write an essay about what it is like to be a teen with a chronic kidney disease for English class or submit it to a kidney disease. newsletter. Don;t let him start feeling sorry for himself- I started to fall into that depressive funk for a few days after the diagnosis. It can be dangerous I have found. Right now I am at the point of saying to myself- I am going to live a normal life despite this diagnosis. I am not going to let this lead my life completely. I guess I am starting to see this diagnosis as an evil thing and I am going to beat it in terms of treating my body well and continuing on with my life. Anyways I hope this helps. I thought I could add something since I too was just diagnosed with this recently. I let you know what stage I am at if anything changes/. I am still at the information gathering stage.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2000 Report Share Posted December 31, 2000 Hi Pam, Hi Carolyn I couldnt have put it better myself.......excellent advice and ideas Carolyn. It looks as though this group is full of rather determined battlers doesn't it. I am trying to get my Neph interested in supporting a group like ours, but I have found that he (and others) suffer from how shall we say 'professional shyness', even when it could help them in their studies. Makes me suspicious of what they are afraid of hearing LOL!!!!! OK once again Happy New Year. Re: Re: Our son Pam: I was just diagnosed in early December 2000. At first it was denial and then anger.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2000 Report Share Posted December 31, 2000 Hi, Carolyn. Boy, I'd be angry too if for ten years I knew something was wrong and no one could find the answer. In some way, it must have given you some closure to know that you finally had a diagnosis. Being 16, still really doesn't want to be reminded that he has a disease. I just hope and pray that his course will be chronic and slow progressing. We are concerned because of the severe way it presented. When I saw 's urine, the foam almost looks like dishwasher soap bubbles and they do not disappear for awhile. One week before his creatine climbed to almost 2, he had a flu shot. We wonder whether that could have been the cause of the severe episode he had. I agree with you not to let this disease own you. You are living with a chronic disease, not dying with it. Good luck to you.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2000 Report Share Posted December 31, 2000 Yes- I understand not wanting to be reminded of the disease- i was at church today for the first time in over a month and every single person I saw had to talk about this disease and how I was feeling and in truth I just wanted to be normal today. Just being present and there with the kids checking into the pretty decorations etc. I didn't really want to be reminded about it and wanted to be human and normal again. I go through bouts of denial -where i do too much . Today we brought an extra child to church with me. It was only myself and my three kids. I had a 6yrs, 4.5 yr, 4 yrs and 2.5 yrs with me and this is the norm for me as I was a teacher before children and now currently homeschooling. But again people asked what a big deal for me to come to church alone with the three kids plus one more. I just laughed it off and said i am really feeling fine today. anyways now that I am home and I am exhausted and I am mad about that because i don't want to be tired and fatigued after a simple visit to church. I do get angry when I just can't do as much as I would like and that i have to pace myself now. It is the lifestyle change that gets me at times. I guess the best part is the realization of what is really important to me-which is my family and I get frustrated with all the petty stuff such as housework etc and i'd rather spend the time with the kids and hubbie. You can let know that he can still " party " without having to push his body too hard. You can still have fun without alcohol- I think it is more fun to watch your friends get drunk and act like fools. I think you are right about the flu shot - It would make sense that it would cause a reaction considering they are saying this IgA thing can be systemic and have an autoimmune like reaction. Do you believe that I have made the kidneys and the disease out of felt just so I could understand it better and show it to the kids about what is happening? One thing that might make your son feel a little better which may sound nuts at first is actually visiting little (younger) kids in the hospital with chronic illnesses and spending time with them. It would give him some perspective. These little kids really make us teens/adults look like wimps. They have such a great attitude about everything even when they have spent most of their short life in the hospital and going through painful procedures. They always have smiles on their faces.
