Guest guest Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 --- Hi Pascal Great to hear from you again. It's good that you have decided to share with us your worries about the possible conection between past vaccinations and the possibility of getting IGAN. In my oppion it's rather hardly possible ....Each kid gets a lot of different vaccinations here in my country due to health care plan and IGAN is rather not very popular disease...( sorry for simplification...) I just think Pascal that you should try to forget about the vaccination problem and start to enjoy your life !!! I don't want to offend you in any way, I am just very sorry that the past vaccinations are bothering your mind every day for such a long time... ( as you wrote in the reply). You wanted to know my oppion: there is no need to worry and torture ourselves with the question why do on earth we developed IGAN...let leave this topic to scentists and reserches... All my life I did my best to live the healthy life , no smoking, no drugs, hardly ever any alcohol, 8 hours of sleep a day, proper nutrition, etc....LOL and what ? I have got IGAN possibly after my dad.... Pascal you are young man, if I remember well your kidney function is still good ( as mine) so please try to think that we are in a way lucky that we both can still live normal life ....That maybe we will never reach the point to need transplant.... This group means so much to me, gives me information, support and hope every day. I feel that I have great friends here, but I really don't think about myself like about sick person Pascal... I do live very active normal life with full time work, cooking, cleaning but also hobbies and spending time with my family... There are times when I am tired ...but I have accepted that. Your wife is very wise woman Pascal...try to listen to her much, she is right - there is no such a big reason to worry about yet! Take care, Elvira PS. Attending to church really gives me a peace of mind and of my heart....so it's good that you are looking for consolation in religion ..

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Hey connie , great to read you post too. my english will be exotic but I don't want spent time in harrap's dictionary. sorry I think the genius idea when web create and run. I think that the Iga group came from great people like Pierre , others and you. Perhaps , the anglo - saxon way of life of thinking is a little bit different than the mediterranean way of life and spirit. I 'm sure now it's very good not to feel alone and create neighbouring by web group. Every day I walk on y human being road. I hope more from this group , medical research and brotherness in all. thanks for all tomorrow , I would see one more day the sunshine with faith in my heart. My french illness association called : AIRG (web site exist ) begin questions for everymenber to know the psychologic help . I 'm sure too the Iga group is big help . Now , I must sleeping . Tomorrow , swimming in the atlantic ocean in the basque country . french kisses friendly yours PASCAL /FRANCE /EUSKAL HERRIA/EUROPE.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 --- Hi Pascal Good to hear from you again ! I am glad that you found this group and our messages very supportive. It made me smile to read that you seem to enjoy your life more now, that you have planned to swim, read some books etc. There is really no need to be so worried about the past vaccinations... Don't worry about your English Pascal...you will improve it naturally after some time! I am sure I still do lots of mistakes myself...but it maybe even " funny and cute " for the English native speaking people to read such letters.... ( as I found it myself sometimes with the foreigners speaking Polish I am sure the IGAN friends here don't mind it at all.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 --- Hi Pascal Nice to hear from you! It's really good that you have so caring neph that you could freely dissucss with him your health condition and some IGAN realated topics...( mine is so great that we sometimes discuss even totaly not health realated problems like " changes in our hair style or so ...LOL ( she is also just a female ) Sorry to hear that your creatinine level jumped for the first time....but the doctor may be right about the probable dehydration. Mine told me the same last time... I don't know how to convert your creatine level ....( my lab tests are given in grams ) so I am not sure how much advanced you IGAN is now...Hope Pierre can help with that... My advice is to left the vaccination topic behind you for ever Pascal! Stress is not good for our health for sure, so please skip that my friend... Hope to hear from you again. Take care and God bless.
