Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Personally, my suggestion is to wait until the new program is released by Weight Watchers.... According to the last WW magazine, their next issue will explain the new system. It doesn't sound like it will be changing all that much. It still uses the points system, just that we have a total daily points and that we can use " flex " points instead of banking points. Basically, they've banked the points over the total daily number and we can use them whenever. > (unknown) > > > ok I'm confused..with this new system!!!!

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2003 Report Share Posted October 10, 2003 Just a thought Dan.....groin pain can sometimes emanate from the hip. My son, who possibly has IGAN, has juvenile arthritis and his hip arthritis and excess fluid in the hip joints manifests itself in groin pain. , RN On Fri, 10 Oct 2003 20:24:01 -0000 " dan02254 " writes: > > > Welcome back, Dan. > > > > Good luck with your latest lab results.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 Dan, I had a colonoscopy done a while back. It's no big deal really.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 Welcome to the group, . Sounds a bit like my early years with IgAN. 50% is not as bad as it could be, but it does indicate you've already lost a fair amount of kidney function. People are often diagnosed sooner nowadays, but there's often nothing to find until about 50% kidney function, so many people end up being diagnosed with IgAN when they are at that level of function. Before that, it's too easy to dismiss small amounts of blood and/or protein in the urine as not being of any great significance. It's at about that point that they first found my BP was high and that I had my biopsy in '93. Pierre (unknown) > I was diagnosed with IgA earlier this year. I was not aware of any > health problems but a routine medical 12 years ago picked up blood > in my urine and I had a kidney biopsy. At the time I was told there > was nothing wrong and I was not put on any medication nor was there > any follow up.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 Hi , Welcome! I'm sorry you have reason to be here, but very glad you found your way here. I don't have anything to add to Pierre's analysis - I just wanted to say I hope you find this site as helpful as I have over the past year. The folks here have been enormously helpful on my journey with this disease (my 12 year old - also named - is the kidney patient). I trust you will find this a warm and friendly place. May I ask what the aspirin is about? Cy Re: (unknown) > > ----- > > > I was diagnosed with IgA earlier this year.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 24 hour blood pressure monitor is a really interesting thing. I wore one twice over a 10 year period. Both times, I averaged out at about 170/110. But the interesting part was seeing the graph, and how BP follows a regular pattern over 24 hours.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Dear Melli, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to the Group. There are many people who are on this site for various reasons. Some because a love on has IGA, some because they have it and some who are going to be donors. Whatever the reason you have for joining just know that you are welcome to chime in anytime that you feel the urge. We are a welcoming and supportive group here. It would be interesting to know your relationship with the disease. If you have IGA it would help us to know what your creatinine level is. I think it is also interesting to know how it was found that you have the disease. BUT it is your decision on how much you want to share. You can be involved with this group in what ever way that you want. We have some very knowledgeable members in this group who can give you some very good information. Again welcome (unknown) I would like to start sending messages to this group Thank you. _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

But prior to SCD we always used the Honeydew for my son without any problems. I never gave a very big serving so I do not know the point of tolerance. But the main reason of not big servings with any fruit was due to sugar since we also were watching sugar intake due to yeast.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 the thing about speedy weight loss rings true with me. I'm ok if I lose a pound every 1-2 weeks, at this point, as long as i am losing. -Amie From: Sent: Monday, January 03, 2005 9:04 PMTo: South-Beach-Diet-Getting-It-Right Subject: (unknown) Okay, I fell off the wagon quite a while ago and have jumped back on.

When you feel like you've gotten a little off track, or you've forgotten the key elements and goals of the South Beach Diet™, take a quick glance to refresh your memory.The South Beach Diet™ is not a low-carb or low-fat diet. Thefocus is on selecting the right carbs and fats. The South Beach Diet™ does not require you to limit portion size, count calories, or count grams of carbohydrates. You can eat until your hunger is satisfied. The South Beach Diet™ is flexible. You don't have to follow themeal plans to the letter—feel free to swap meals and ingredients tosuit your tastes and needs. You can't lose in a day what it took years to put on. Permanent weight loss is a slow process. Eliminating the carbs that cause cravings makes weight loss easier. The South Beach Diet™ allows for the inevitable slipups—thatis why there are three phases. It's okay to fall off the wagon as long as you get right back on. The South Beach Diet™ is a lifestyle change, not just anotherdiet. Because it allows you to eat the way you actually like to eat, you can sustain it for the rest of your life. Weight loss is only one of the benefits of the South Beach Diet™.It will also improve blood chemistry—and lead to a healthier you Reminder: The South Beach Diet is not low-carb. Nor is it low-fat.
