Guest guest Posted September 27, 2002 Report Share Posted September 27, 2002 , TTC means trying to conceive. Another common one is DH (darling husband) and AF (aunt flow). I believe there is a list somewhere in the database, but it has been a while since I've checked. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 I dont think its a dumb question. You can obviously learn more about AV by going to http://www.auditory-verbal.org/ After learning about the many different communication options available to our daughter we have decided to use AV. The best way Ive heard someone describe it is this. Think of language education on a scale. ASL is on one side and AV is on the other. Between the two are many different ways of either using more or less visual clues/listening skills to help learn language. Obviously ASL no listening and AV all listening. ASL all visual, AV no visual. My daughter is learning to speak without reading lips, cueing, ASL or any other visual technique. She is listening to how a word sounds than repeating it. Sometimes she has to hear it a couple times before she expresses it correctly. The cool thing is that she has great listening skills. With her CII w/HIRES we are very thankful that this is a possibility for her. > Can I ask what may be a dumb question?? What is the difference between auditory-oral and auditory-verbal communication?

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 > , Everyone needs at least 1200 cals a day for normal body function. The best formula I have seen is take your GOAL body weight times 10 and that should be minimum cals. So for example my goal weight is 160 X 10= 1600. If you are moderately active add 100 a day. If you exercise add 200. You should not go below because that will slow your metabolism and make it harder to lose weight and you will lose muscle not fat and that makes it harder to lose weight too. Also be sure to drink plenty of water! The best formula for that is take your body weight in half and that is how many ounces you should strive for. I know, that sounds like a lot. That's why I say " strive " . Just work up gradually so you aren't too hard on your kidneys. Take care, Gena > Hi everyone! Hope everyone had a good weekend. I have a quick > question.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 Thanks Gena, I know your post was to , but it helped me out too. I've never heard a way to figure your calories that was sooooooo easy. My goal weight is 126 and I exercise regularly, so I guess I need 1460. I've been trying to eat just a little this week to get this weight I've gained off. Pretty much I've just been having an oatmeal for breakfast, a slimfast and banana for luch and then a lite dinner, mainly veggies and fruit. According to what you said, I probably froze my metabolism. Back to full fat yogurt tomorrow and peanut butter. Maybe that well change it.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Hi Krista, yes, IgAN does affect both kidneys equally unfortunately. If that was not the case, IgAN would never result in reaching end stage renal failure because one kidney is sufficient to maintain life. As far as the swelling, edema is often present once your renal function is fairly compromised. Do you happen to know what your level of kidney function is? I have never found a book on IgAN, but I can tell you that our sister site, www.igan.ca is the most comprehensive source of information I have found anywhere. You might want to read through that site. Let us know if you have any further questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Hi, For me, in order to be consistant with my multiple testings, I followed the steps that my first endo recommended... Fast for 12 hours, water is allowed, no coffee,tea allowed. Hold the pills until after the draw. Then have the blood drawn roughly the same time of day...for me it was/is always around 8am..as I worked swing shift at the time. Not everyone agrees with the fast, not everyone agrees with having the blood drawn at the same time...however for me, it works and the tests are always run under the bodies similar conditions.
