Guest guest Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Hi, I'm so sorry to hear your son being diagnosed with Igan. I myself am a mother and my son Zach was diagnosed in May of 2002. When you asked asked " How am I not worry? " That's impossible! They day we became mothers we started to worry! We all want to keep our children safe,happy and healthy! I was so depressed after Zach's biopsy.This group has done wonders for me the people here are my angels! When I speak of my son's Igan I always refer to what the people in my support group has taught me.Stay strong and always keep a postive outlook.Once again thanks to all my angels! iga-nephropathy wrote: There are 25 messages in this issue.

Subject: Re: Altace medication PRIYA Priya I also am on Altace, have been for a year or so. I am at about 25-30% function but with little protein or blood in urine. I have had no problems with it, a little bit of a cough, which is annoying, but not terrible. When I used to smoke, now THAT was a cough!!! My BP is down about 115/75 and stays there. I also take Diovan with the Altace. For me it is good medication. W In a message dated 11/10/2004 8:59:46 AM Eastern Standard Time, jhigby2003@... writes: PRIYA, Hello. I am so sorry that you have been diagnosed with IgaN. This is a wonderful group of people though. I don't know where I would be emotionally with out them. I was on Altace for 6 months but I was just taken off of it because I had a very bad " dry " cough. I couldn't handle it anymore. I have not switched to another BP med yet.When i first started taking Altace i was very weak feeling but that was because my body was getting use to the med. It went away after about 2 weeks. I am at 90% function so i have been very thankful. The only thing that has gotten worse is the protein in my urine but that is still not too bad. I just hope for the best. Take care of yourself.
