hello everyone!

[Guest guest]

Hello: I was just diagnosed Iga-nephropathy (initial phase). I'm

36, mother of 2, Math teacher and my native language is Spanish (I

don't know if this brief description is necessary, but is the first

time I use internet with people different than my relatives/friends).

Everything started 5 months ago with a step throat, then

macrohematuria; I had many blood exams, one renal ultrasound, a

pelvic catscan, and finally the renal biopsy. Now I'm feeling better

because they found the reason of the persistent microhematuria. My

nephrologyst prescribed fish oil tablets, but she didn't change any

of my nutrition habits (my cholesterol and blood pressure look fine).

I had read Iga is a long-term sickness (it takes 10-30 years to get

the final phase), I wonder if you want to share your own

experiences.

Do you have any special diet? I'm not sure I can be vegetarian but

if I have to, I'll try it.

After the episode of step throat, I had been felt more tired,

specially in easy activities: cooking, doing vacuum, going upstairs

and downstairs (my house is 4 levels), etc. Is this related to the

Iga?

At the end of the day, I can feel the discomfort under my ribs or

some times in my back. Is it because the Iga?

Thanks for all your support.

Sincerely,

Liliana
