hello

[Guest guest]

Hi Sue.... When I first started talking to my doctors about how I felt,

I thought that was the best way to describe it. I don't know about you,

but I can feel fine and within an instant I start to feel horrible. I

do feel like someone pulled the plug on me. I consider myself lucky in

that I will go about two weeks feeling fine then I'll have 2 weeks

feeling very weak.

There's another gal at the clinic that has TWO months feeling great and

then she's in bed for two to three months after that.

I can honestly say that by taking the Enbrel, it has made the down time

a lot less... I use to just sleep, sleep and more sleep. Now I don't do

that I just lay in bed to rest my muscles. Before the Enbrel it was

downright horrible finding it very difficult to even raise my arms...

Hope you have a great day!

Take care,

Vicki

Hi Ev.... YOu have a hairdresser that comes to your home? How nice!

I'm to far out in the hills for anyone to come here. That's alright

with me. I don't have to get dressed each day... something about

walking around in my bathrobe all day long that appeals to me....LOL

Gentle hugs to ya

Hi Mike..... 3 to 4 ft of snow on the sidelines is more than I care to

see. We have rain coming in on Tuesday an snow in the

mountains....which could be me.

I need to get the rest of the barn done by this weekend. Oh my achy

breaky fanny!

WOW, down to 10mg ..... good for you. Have you noticed any big

difference? By the time I got to 10mg I couldn't drop any more than

1/2mg a week. I tried the 1mg but it proved to be too much on me.

Sorry about you getting that bug. I'm happy that it didn't last any

longer than the 24 hrs. Did you get a flu shot this year?

Hope you're having a good day and the weather up there is clear and

beautiful.

Take care,

Vicki

[Guest guest]

Thanks, Sue,

Sweet of you to respond--and yes I'm really enjoying our little chats,

especially since I already know Steve. That makes it easier, to talk, when

you've known each other for about 10 years.

Good luck to everyone else--including, our sweet " leader " Vicki!!

Hi Vicki.

Quebec City is about 500 miles east-northeast of Toronto. Now THEY

have cold winters!! Our weather here is pretty similar to Chicago's,

except that we tend to get more warm snaps in the winter, which melts

the snow every few weeks.

Quebec City is really a pretty nice place to visit. It was the

capital of New France in the 1600s and 1700s, and is the only walled

city in North America, I hear. It was captured by the British in the

last of the French-English wars. There are lots of cobblestoned,

winding streets, and the restaurants serve fantastic food. If you are

smart, you will order imported wine - and choose the ones from

California, not New York or France.

Take care.

[Guest guest]

Hi Vicki.

There have not been any really major changes since I dropped down to

10mg. I still have a little tenderness in my fingertips, and my voice

is a bit hoarse, but that is what usually happens, and I hope will

only last for a week or less. It's also not very clear up here. It is

snowing again. It looks like a Christmas card outside, but it

possesses the same problems that a Christmas card has now -- it's

outlived its welcome.

The bug was, I think, just that and not the flu, because I got over

it within 24 hours. Yes, I did get the flu shot. I hear that the flu

generally seems to have started on the West Coast this season, and

the thought is that it will be moving east within the next couple of

weeks. So if I'm going to get sick, it will be in January, I guess.

Stay out of the rain!

[Guest guest]

Hey Mike,

Oh, I sure wish I had been in this group a couple of months ago. My 6th grade daughter had a very detailed Canadian notebook to do. It was on Quebec. Boy, did we ever have a great deal of trouble finding all the information she needed. I guess we did okay though, she made a 96/A on it.

Later,

Sherry

Hi Mike... no wonder Quebec can make an ice hotel. Of course it's not

my cup of tea. I happen to love sleeping in a warm bed and not with ice

all around me. But, it was interesting to see how it looked on the

inside and you have to marvel over the construction of it.

Say, how's your exercise program coming along. Have you had to put it

on the back burner a bit?

Hope you're having a nice day and the sun is shining where you are...

Take care,

Vicki

[Guest guest]

Hi Mike.... Sound like you did the right thing in holding off your gym

time.

My sunshine time is over I guess...although I can't believe these

weather men. Suppose to get rain tomorrow morning early then snow on

Wednesday. Oh joy!

The barn is almost done, so I'll let my old gal in tomorrow to get her

out of the cold rain and especially the snow. I'm sure she'll love it.

I can work while she's in there... it's just that they soon become pests

as they want to help you as much as they can. Nibble on the ladder,

pick up the hammer and walk off with it, tear open the nail boxes...etc.

Just little things....lol

I do love them though.

Hope you had a good day and starting to recover from the decrease.

Take care,

Vicki

Hi Darren,

Welcome to our group! One of our moderators is in England, and we have a

number of members from your neck of the woods.

I am sorry you have been diagnosed with IgAN, but glad you have found us so

you can have the support and encouragement you need as you adjust to your

news.

I must say that the majority of cases of IgAN never do reach end stage renal

disease (meaning you need dialysis or transplant). I can think of many

things much worse than IgAN to be diagnosed with. Please don't let your

diagnosis slow you down or keep you from enjoying life to the fullest. I

have had my IgAN for over 25 years, and not really had any significant

problems except for the past few years. I was first symptomatic as a

teenager.

If you have not already visited our sister site, you can learn scores at <A

HREF= " www.igan.ca " >

www.igan.ca</A> and please post any questions you may have and we are all here

for you!

Welcome again,

[Guest guest]

Hello,

Good site to have found Darren.

Good Luck.

Hello

Hello everyone,

I am a new member of this group and just wanted to say

hello to everyone. I was diagnosed with Iga Neph in January,after a

biopsy, although the specialsit thought I had had it for a few years.

I have around 50% kidney function left and are taking blood pressure

medication to slow down the process. I live in Sheffield, UK, male,

and 29 years old.

Darren

[Guest guest]

Hi Darren.

Welcome to the group. I had 50% kidney function 10 years ago. Many people

are at about that level when they are initially diagnosed, because unless

blood happens to be found in a urine test, there's often nothing to make

anyone suspect kidney disease.

Arran,

Here is hoping that it is not IGaN. I am so sorry about your BP though. Maybe

it is just that the BP was so high that it caused those symptoms. (I am always

one for wishful thinking) But if it is IGaN, then you have come to the correct

place and welcome. Here is hoping that you will not need us, though. Please

let us know what your outcome is.

Hello

Hi, my name is Arran Steele and I am 30 years old. I am married to and

have to little boys who will be 3 in June and Craig who is 7 mths old. We

live in Australia's Central Coast in NSW.

I was rushed into hospital last week with high blood pressure after having

found protein and blood in the urine. I also was given a biopsy and I am

awaiting further tests.

I have been given severe medication to try and get the blood pressure down.

This has been a huge shock for everyone especially my wife. This is why I wanted

to join this group for her as well as me. The not knowing is the scariest part

at the moment.

Thank you for taking time to read this,

Kind Regards,

Arran Steele

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Nice to hear from you again. Making pottery sounds fun. My nephew is really

into pottery making, and he gave me a beautiful piece for Christmas which I

really love.

I am sorry but I don't know about Mavik. Is that an ace inhibitor? If so, I

do know that ace inhibitors do have a tendency to lower protein levels.

My Nephrologist also asked me to limit my protein consumption a number of

years ago. It does take some getting used to, but that part was much easier

for me than the potassium and phosphorus limitations. For me, he told me to

eat about 3 ounces of protein a day, about the size of a deck of cards. You

might ask for an appointment with a Renal Dietitian to help you to make sure

you still get enough calories with your restrictions. I saw one for about 6

months after I started my renal diet, and she was really helpful to me.

Since we are talking about diet, and we have so many new members, let me

repeat a warning you will here over and over on this board. Please do not

ever start any dietary restrictions without talking to your Nephrologist. It

is critically important that your diet be individualized according to your

personal lab results. I know our older members probably get sick of hearing

that, but we always have new members and I don't want anyone to just decide

to start limiting anything in their diet without first talking to their

Nephrologist.

Nice to hear from you again !

[Guest guest]

Hi .

Mavik is just another ACE inhibitor. They pretty much all work the same. I

don't know why doctor's prescribe different brands. Maybe your doctor has a

good rapport with the sales rep for that drug, who knows.

Hi Penny,

Thank you for your reply, I think having a close group like this will be a real

support for me. I get my tests back on thursday hopefully, noticed I am getting

alot of aching joints and weight putting on from the medication, I am eating so

much. I notice from reading alot of e mails that there is a sort of diet I

should maybbe have but as yet my doctor hasn't said anything. I would also like

to thank everyone else for saying hello to me

Regards

Arran Steele

Re: Hello

Hello Arran, My husband and I can relate to your situation. Im 32

and had a biopsy last March. I have IgAN. I also have a daughter that

is 3 and a son that is 7 months. I hope this site will help you like

it does me. I feel sorry for my husband and children. Its nice to

come here when you dont want to put more pressure on your spouse. I

got an awsome email today that has helped me alot!! I was just told

what I have in March and my next appointment is in a few weeks. Maybe

Ill be in my right mind this time. Take care and good luck!! Keep me

posted! Penny

Hi , you sound so brave and determined to receive the care you want and deserve I am sure you must be an inspiration to the other sufferers on the board.

As far as the feet thing goes, it does work, I am a reflexologist and theres a point almost in the centre of your foot that is the solar plexus point and touching this opens up your emotions and responses. Engergy can pass in and out of this spot so you can gain positive energy from the person touching you. Likewise they can feel negative energy coming from you and if they are sensitive they could even cry whilst doing this. To avoid this they should relax a moment before they touch you and envisage a bright light around them like a bubble to protect them from receiving the negative energy. This only takes a few seconds but the positive energy and love you can feel from them would leave you with a wonderful feeling. Give it a try. Reflexology is a wonderfully relaxing technique, it wont heal you but it will give emotional relief and this helps your whole body rebalance.

Love take care Ann (carer UK)

I always read posts when I am up in the night, too. Then, I don't feel so alone. I wish you had more friends and family support. I think we have all had our friendship base dwindle as we get sicker. I still have a few good loyal friends. Someone calls every day that I have rehab to see if I need a ride. It is just that I get left out of a lot of outings and outdoor activities because I can not physically do the walking or endure the weather.

I look for you on the board every day. I love seeing you here. You are a real fighter and a real friend to all of us. I love you for sharing all that you have gone through. No one will talk straight to me. We at least need to be straight with each other here. Otherwise, we can not help each other. I have spent most of the time since I was diagnosed digging around for answers and trying to find real people with real life experiences. I don't want to hear vague promises and platitudes. I want the gut wrenching truth. I hate surprises. Knowledge is power. I want to have some power and control over this monster.

Thank you for being honest and for having such courage.

,

I hope you were able to relax and sleep last night. Who knows what

all that lady was talking about, but Reflexology is massage done on

specific pressure points on the feet, hands and ears. Massage

therapists massage specific areas mapped out that " connect " with

different body parts. You can do a search online for the mapping, I

also have a great one in my latest yoga magazine. The area for our

lungs is area just below your toes or the pads of your feet. If

this is still unclear put your feet flat on the ground and then

raise up to your toes and the pads. I figure it can't hurt and well

it's a good excuse to have my husband rub my feet. Read about it

also on that lenor's journey website. , don't do anything for

anyone other than you... just as it's not Bud's job to make the

oxygen company a profit, it's not your job to make Hospice's job

easier. I will be thinking of you all the while I'm away. I don't

know how I'll catch up after 3 weeks away. Please stay strong and

take care of yourself.

Kerry,

Send me a postcard. I have never been to Hawaii or even recieved a postcard. I will live vicariously through you for the next couple of weeks. I don't envy you the plane or the ship....but the beaches and just the magic of Hawaii...think of me there. I am praying so hard that this will be a trip of a lifetime! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. Don't let the relatives drive you nuts!

My love and prayers go with you all,

Hi et al.

I massage Bud's feet everyday. I think it helps us both! He was a

massage therapist (before all this) so we do believe that " high

touch " often does counter balance " high tech " when it comes to

healing! I wish I could be there to massage your feet, .

You just amaze me -

Love and light, Joanie who massages the massage therapist, Bud
