Well Memory I am glad that you found us but am sorry that you have a

reason. You will find that we are a very supportive and fun group to be

with. If you have something going on with your disease, you will

probably find someone here who knows something about it.

What is your creatinine level? Have they told you how aggressive your

IGa is? Keep up the communication with the group. Again, welcome.

hi

My name is Memory and I was diagnosed with iga nephropathy when I was 12

years old. At 23 I am a very happy mom of 2 healthy children. I have

occasional

spells but overall I feel like I'm in good health. I am looking for

people with

the same health issues I have.

[Guest guest]

Hi Memory,

Welcome to our group. You were diagnosed at a young age. I am very thankful

you were able to have your children before you had any significant problems.

I am glad to hear that you are not having any significant problems. I was

first symptomatic as a young teen, and now in my 40s, I still am not on dialysis

so you can definitely live a very long and very full life with IgAN. Do you

have any idea what your creatinine level is? Hopefully you still have lots of

good renal function and will continue to have for many years to come.

Welcome again,

[Guest guest]

Hi , thanks for the welcome!!!

I am very thankful to have been able to carry my children full term. When I

was 7 months pregnant with my daughter I had a blockage in my right kidney. My

doctor had to put in a double j stint. It was removed when she was 2 weeks

old. My second pregnancy had no complications.

I know that everyone will think I'm stupid for this but I don't have the

slightest clue what creatinine levels are. I have not been to the renal clinic

in

Birmingham since I was 17 years old. I do have a family doctor that I see when

I need to. My last visit was Wednesday and he called this afternoon to tell

me that he scheduled an ultrasound for my liver next Friday. I had no idea that

there was anything wrong with my liver. Can anyone tell me if there is a

connection?????? I did take prednisone for several years but I don't know if

that

could cause damage to anything.

Most of you probably think I'm dumb but I have never spoken to anyone that

has iga nephropathy. I have been told that there are only 3 doctors in Alabama

that specialize in the disease. They are all at Childrens Hospital.

I need to go for now, thanks to all that replied to me...

Memory

[Guest guest]

Not sure what the liver has to do with it. The only liver testing I had was

to occasionally check for any signs of medication damage, and that was just

a blood test. On the other hand, I did have a few abdominal ultrasounds,

which probably included looking at the liver. I had these to investigate

pancreatitis problems, and then there was one last year as part of my

transplant evaluation. I've never heard of anyone on this list actually

having liver problems associated with IgAN. Good luck, and if you find out

why your doctor ordered it, I would be interested in knowing.

Hi Memory,

I just wanted to pop in to extend my belated welcome. I've read all your

other posts with great interest. I hope you find this site as useful as I

have. Given that you have had IgAN for 11 years, I look forward to your

insight!

My husband also has sleep apnea, with a lot of snoring. I have noticed recently that the 40 pounds he has lost so far on the SBD has really improved both. He used to wake me up 2-3 times per night when he would stop breathing. It's been a few months since he has awakened me. The snoring has also improved greatly.

Hi Terri,

I have sleep apnea as well and have been using a CPAP (Continuous

Positive Air Pressure) machine for close to 10 years now. I've

often wondered how weight loss would affect my sleep apnea. Sleep

apnea isn't *caused* by being overweight, but being overweight

certainly contributes to the severity of it. Welcome to the group.

I'm new here too and this is a terrific group for adivce and

support :-)

Sounds liek the Armour caused adrenal stress whihc then stops ANY thyroid from

getting in the cells. When this happens the temps drop and more severe low T3

symptoms start. I would drop that dose to 15MG and possibly take it twice a day

if you have not this severe reaction to the `15MG dose.

humidity -- and will hit 100 today and tomorrow.....but nothing like

you have been faced with down near you.

So sorry! If I were closer to you -- you would have no need to leave

the house on a day like this....I would return the kindness you have

shown to me...

Hi Val,

Thanks for that. Im taking Nutri Thyroid too.

I have split the does 2 x 15mg, one morning and one afternoon. Im ok but not

as happy ...do you think because of my adrenals (I have only been on Cortef

15-30mg) for nearly two weeks, its a bit early to start Armour? Or should i

just stick with the 15mg a day.

It was so marked the drop i felt it!!

I am so desparate t get my thyroid up and running, get rid of this water and

level off my hormones. I really want to take Armour because i know it can do

all these things for me.

Or maybe i dont need Armour and that the adrenals are starting to do their

bit - im confused - please give me some help as always!

Thank you Lynn x

sorry Val,

Also, will the HC help with the water retention, and in have noticed i have

been a little more edgy since i started taking the Armour. I dont want to

question Dr P because he is the oracle but the feeling was so obvious. How

long does Armour stay in your system.

Thank you
