Guest guest Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 Dear , Cy and Pierre, I want to thank you all for the helpful and informative feedback that you gave our family. I forwarded your suggestions to Geoff. Your support is so gratefully appreciated. There are so many fears and anxieties that can come to the surface when faced with any change. Your answers helped to relieve ours. From reading your various emails on the message board, I've come to realize the power and knowledge behind your words. You are incredible people! You are not victims of this disease. You are heroic warriors. Thank You for fighting the fight and sharing what you've learned, along with your experiences.

I sincerely hope your stepson is not also afflicted with IgAN. The standard treatment for IgAN is Ace inhibitor, which has some renal protective measures......... " Cy wrote: Hi Lin, .......

The web page he wants to look at is our parent site, www.igan.ca Geoffrey can find a wealth of information on many aspects of the disease. Re " what is someone .... spposed to do about it? " .......

If it were to be IgAN, I can attest that a person can have it and not feel bad for many, many years..... " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
