Yelena,

Welcome! There are a wide variety of straps out there that help keep the

aids in place, as well as clipped on to clothing so they are not lost in

those early adjustment months. We've had success with clips and straps from

the Ear Connection (www.getsafensound.com), but other families swear by

Critter Clips, Huggies, and others brands.

My daughter's first set of aids were by Phonak too. Until she was about 2,

she used a pediatric ear hook with them, instead of the adult sized one that

came with the aid (this is the plastic piece that connects the aid to the

earmold). The pediatric hook is about half the size and kept the aids from

flopping off her ear. Your audiologist should be able to provide these for

you (ask for a backup pair, too, as we tended to have to replace them every

so often).

If the problem persists, you may want to consider experimenting with earmold

styles and materials with your audiologist. Check with your coverage, but

most earmolds come with a 3 month warranty, which allows for free remakes

during that period of time. For us, it took a few molds to figure out the

right combination of material, tubing and design to get a mold that can

support the aid well.

Finally, depending on his other medical issues, you may want to ask for

suggestions from his other therapists, doctors, etc. I know of some

families who have used products intended for their children's other medical

needs and integrated them successfully for the hearing aids.

Good luck!

Hi Yelena - welcome! My older son was a bit older when he got his hearing aids

Hi Trent,

Welcome to the group, I'm glad you found us. I'm sorry however to hear

of your diagnosis. I hope you are in the early stages of the disease and

you are able to live out the rest of your life with nothing more than some

extra pills, labs, and doctors appointments. If you haven't already please

check out our sister site at www.igan.ca it is full of great info written

from the patients point of view by our founder Pierre. It's a great site to

refer family to as they try to grasp the in's and out's of this disease.

You are among good company as we have quite a few nursing students and

nurses in the group. Please feel free to ask away with questions here or

search past posts on the Yahoo Groups page for answers...tons of great info

in those back posts.

Welcome again!

Amy G.

Hi Trent.

Amy had already welcomed you on behalf of the moderators, but I would just

like to add my own. You know, I was 24 when this started for me. I'm 53 now,

and I had a completely normal life, for the most part. I only had to start

dialysis 2 years ago. Had I had better blood pressure control in the early

years, I might not even be on dialysis yet. So anyway, don't despair. Let's

hope that one day you will be able to look back as a longtimer with IgAN.

Hello Trent

My name is Marcia. I too am a new member to this group as of this week. I live

in Ontario, Canada and I'm presently trying to get to know everyone and their

situations.

I'm sure it came as a complete surprise to you as it did me when I was

diagnosed. There is so much information you can find on line as well as in this

group. I've found out so much myself from this group in regards to preventing

kidney failure. My doctors didn't treat me at all. I never knew they could

have done something. They advised me that there was a test study in regard to

fish oil. There was no proof that it would work, but it was something they said

I could try. I didn't want to be a lab. I don't know if it would have made a

difference. What has your doctor told you? Are they advising you of any sort

of treatment Trent?

Welcome to the group Marcia. I live in Ontario too - the nation's capital,

in fact. You know there are some situations with IgAN where it's perfectly

reasonable to wait and see, or to treat only with appropriate blood pressure

meds. Fish oil is really in the " it can't hurt category " . You're not being a

guiney pig if you try fish oil, because it has been clinically-trialed

extensively by the Mayo Clinic and others for more than a decade. The

benefits are not really that clearcut, but it doesn't seem to cause any

harm.

Many (if not most) people who are diagnosed with IgAN only have mild

proteinuria. I was one of those. I never had heavier proteinuria until very

late, in just the couple of months before I had to start dialysis (and that

was 25 years after my initial diagnosis of a kidney problem). In those

cases, it's really a toss-up as to whether it's worth subjecting the patient

to the adverse effects of powerful drugs like oral steroids and other types

of immune system suppressing drugs. It's a situation where you might help

the kidneys a bit, but seriously harm the patient in other ways. Doctors

make these " benefits vs risks " decisions every day.

Anyway, good luck.

Pierre

Hi Trent,

A very warm welcome to you. I am sorry you were diagnosed with IgAN. I

think Amy already mentioned this, but if you have not yet had the chance to look

at our sister site at www.igan.ca, it is really a fantastic place to start and

you will find many of your questions are answered there.

We have several nurses, and even another nursing student in the group so you

are in great company.

Do you know what your level of function is? Hopefully you have been

diagnosed early and by way of encouraging you, the majority of people with IgAN

never

do progress to ESRD. I pray you are one of those that never has to contend

with renal failure.

Welcome again!

I'm by no means a professional here, but just from what I have read about, and from what I know about friend who is hyperthyroid, it sounds to me like the doctors need to be doing something rather than nothing!! My friend in high school had problems with hypherthyroidism, and her eyes bulged out (buphthalmia) because of it. Not to scare you, but they never went back to normal. I am worried on your behalf of the funny eye twitching feeling and also the numb face. I am hypo, so I don't know much about hyper, but I really think if it were me, I'd be finding a second opinion. Keep us informed, and know you're in the right place for information, because these people are the most wonderful resource I've found. *hugs*

Hi ,

The numbness on one side of the face could be Bell's Palsy, which is an auto-immune disorder.Best of luck.

From Merck..

Amiodarone and interferon- have been reported to induce a wide

variety of functional disorders of the thyroid; discussion is beyond

the scope of this review. However, both drugs can induce thyroiditis

with hyperthyroidism, and patients receiving these drugs should be

closely monitored.

I wonder if you are taking interferon or a form of interferon to

treat your MS..

Do you have your lab results?

With a cyst it is possible for it to what is called a hot nodule and

be the cause of the hyper symptoms or it could be your medication or

the Cyst could ( less than 5 % chance) be the big C and requires

further investigation as to why you are hyper.

From Merck..

Amiodarone and interferon- have been reported to induce a wide

variety of functional disorders of the thyroid; discussion is beyond

the scope of this review. However, both drugs can induce thyroiditis

with hyperthyroidism, and patients receiving these drugs should be

closely monitored.

I wonder if you are taking interferon or a form of interferon to

treat your MS..

Do you have your lab results?

With a cyst it is possible for it to what is called a hot nodule and

be the cause of the hyper symptoms or it could be your medication or

the Cyst could ( less than 5 % chance) be the big C and requires

further investigation as to why you are hyper.
