Guest guest Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 Hi Pattapong, Welcome to our group! I am glad you found us. I very much want to encourage you, especially to not avoid serious relationships. Pattapong, the truth is that there are no guarantees on how long ANY of us will live, regardless of having IgAN or not. In the book of Psalms Chapter 139 in the Bible, it says that all of our days were preordained before even one of them came to pass. Not one of us can say how many days God has given us to live. IgAN is really a fairly benign condition, and the majority of people with IgAN never do progress to end stage renal disease, so chances are you will be fine. Even those who do progress can live very full lives with dialysis or a transplant. Renal Failure does not mean the end of life by any means! It also sounds like your condition may be stable if the doctor says your levels have improved. I encourage you to embrace each and every day as a blessing, be thankful for each day, love others to the fullest extent possible. Those are the things that make life worth living. I hope you feel encouraged enough to not shy away from a long term relationship. Welcome again, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 : Rob is on a NSAID (Voltaren) as well as Methrotrexate and Sulfasalazine for his JAS. His BUN and creatinine are within normal limits and checked monthly. We see rheumatology and nephrology every 2 months. Thanks so much for your interest! and Rob 14 On Thu, 18 Mar 2004 18:46:21 EST W4JC@... writes: > Hi Marie, > > No, I don't have juvenile ankylosing spondylitis, but I did read up > on it.
