Guest guest Posted February 9, 2003 Report Share Posted February 9, 2003 Hi TJ. Welcome to the group. Are you have an open surgery or lap surgery? I don't think there are any of us who ever want to be in a 2 piece swimsuit again. Maybe a tankini, but definitely not a bikini. You can have children after this surgery, but you have to wait until you are 18 months to 2 years out from surgery before you get pregnant. Before then, your portion sizes are so small it will be difficult to get the extra nutrition in for you and baby. Take care.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 , welcome to the group, though I am sorry you need to be here. As for getting medical care, it depends where you live and how ill you are. If you are brought to a hospital, any hospital, in the US in dire straights (danger of dying imminently) they have no choice but to treat you. This is not true if you aren't urgently ill. Unfortunately, even the county clinics in most areas charge one to be seen. However, for hospitalization, should this happen, talk with one of the social services people there....most facilities can draw on Burton-Hill money for the needy. Your state/county have programs also; you should call the equivalent of the Welfare people where you live and look into this. Dialysis & transplant are covered in most part by Medicare and Medicaid, so not to worry too much there. Ideally you'll never get to this point. Tongue in cheek, if you commit a major crime....medical care is provided in those facilities (up to and including heart transplants. For a fellow on Death Row, no less, go figure...one of my aunties was a nurse at the state pen in Washington State and told me this story). The other option is of course to get insurance, via employment ideally (because then the preexisting condition crud doesn't usually apply). The problem isn't just paying for your nephrologist at $80 a pop or so, its all the lab work that can cost a fortune. Note that everything above (other than the prison joke) is dep on how much money you make, too, so be prepared for those questions. Hope this helps. Bart new to the group Greetings, I just wanted to drop every one a line and introduce myself. My name is and as of about two weeks ago I have been living with IgA for half of my life. One would think that in 13 years I would have made an effort to find this website a little earlier. Unfortunately I'm the stubborn one who said " I won't let it effect me! " so I ignored it. I'm 26 now and have decided that it is time to deal with this condition. Unfortunately I've not got any insurance. My question to folks out there is does any one know of ways to get medical attention with out having to pay out of pocket to a physician or having insurance. Thanks, and I look forward to getting to know some of you out there. Cheers, --------------------------------- Celebrate Yahoo!'s 10th Birthday! Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Hi Sorry to have to welcome you to this group, but at this point, I do think it's in your own best interest to stop ignoring the disease. I did that myself for the first 15 years or so, so, I've been there and done that. I'm glad to see Bart already replied, as, I assume you live in the U.S., but I don't. Any local State agencies that can help? There might be some free clinics where you could at least have your blood pressure treated. You will be covered for end-stage renal failure if you ever get to that point, but it is well-known today that proper care of chronic renal insufficiency is very important. It can help slow progression of the disease, for one thing, but even if it doesn't, it can make you a much healthier end-stage patient then those without proper pre-dialysis care. Even if you are among those who eventually end up on dialysis, trust me, you don't want to get there any sooner than you really have to. Best of luck to you.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Bart, Thanks for the info. I've always avoided Social Services like the plague, but I guess that it exists, theoretically, for situations just like these. Fortunately for me the money issue is no problem, I have none. I have a friend who works as a corrections officer here in Raleigh, so maybe I can talk him into sneeking in with the convicts.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Pierre, The capacity to ignore a potentially life threatening situation is truly amazing, and merits some study. I think I would make the ideal candidate. I was playing on the internet today when I discovered this sight and was suddenly struck with the realization that I had spent half of my life pretending there was no problem. Needless to say it was pretty sobering. Any way, I'm looking forward to grabbing the bull by the horns and becoming a little more proactive.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Hi , A very warm welcome to you as well! I also have had symptoms since I was in my teen years (now in my 40's) and like you I was pretty much ignored for the first 15 or so years of having IgAN. You do not say where you live, so I don't know if you qualify for any government programs. Canada is good with health care, but in the US, if you have some income but no insurance, you are pretty much out of luck. I can suggest asking for a social worker at a local hospital and the social worker can assist you in finding out what kind of programs, if any, you qualify for. The best bet it so get an insurance policy through your employer if you can find a company with good benefits. Best of luck to you there.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 This thought just came to me. I remember enrolling in a variety of studies (guinea pig type stuff) for meds, medical student practicums, and all that sort of thing. So see what the med school has to say....you may get enrolled in some IgAN study or another that carries free followup, etc. with it.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Hi , I just wanted to add my quick welcome to the email list. I hope you will find this group as warm and supportive has I have. I hear you about avoiding social services. However, this is one where persistence can pay off - and perhaps your hospital or doc can help (after all they DO want to get paid). When we first started this kidney trip 2.5 years ago, I asked to see a social worker - and after cycling through several of them (none of whom knew anything about financing health care), one of them had the bright idea to send me to the hospital's financial counselor. Life has been much easier since, because the counselor connected me to what programs were available. As for drugs, someone here sent a link around recently which was a good launching point for accessing individual drug company programs. Does anyone still have that link? I wish I kept it because it might be very useful. Welcome again! Cy new to the group > > > > > > > > Greetings, > > > > I just wanted to drop every one a line and introduce myself.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Welcome Odile, Chemo brain is VERY real. It has been proven that it exists. Somewhere I have an article on it if I can remember where its at I will post ir. I was 44 when I had my surgery so way too young for memory problems. I will turn 61 next week. I have terrible chemo brain. Some ladies their memory returns and others it doesn't. I can tell you what I did as a child but don't ask me what I did recently. I will keep you in my prayers.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Hi Odile, The bone pain was hard on me too. I thought it was more from the neulasta shot I got 24 hours after each dose of chemo because I could time it to the minute the onset of bone pain (5 hours exactly). I still have neuropathy (burning and pain in my right leg) but that is better also. Hang in there. We are alive.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Hello - I'm new to the group. I've been involved in oncology for 35years as an oncology nurse. I have found that the best help for us all is to have information available to us and then for us to make our own decisions. I read Jan's email. Jan, your faith and husband's support are your blessings.During the phase of diagnosis the feelings of " limbo " can be overwhelming. A biopsy is a good thing as it will give a definative answer. No matter where we are, how old we are, the phase of diagnosis, treatment, recovery, we must take good care of ourselves. Nutrition is soooooooooo important. Also, those incidious toxic chemicals in our homes have got to go. Furthermore, good rest is essential. I try very hard to practice what I preach!!! Jan Koelsch wrote: On October 18, 2006, I had a negative mammogram and ultrasound. The report came back with possible breast carcinoma in both breasts. I have an appointment with a specialist. The radiologist told me a biopsy was probably a certainty. Since then I have been reading all the information that I can. I take one step at a time and one day at a time. I covet all your prayers. My husband is very supportive, which is a blessing indeed. This is new territory for both of us. All the help and suggestions are appreciated. November 2, 2006 is my next appointment.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Welcome, Jan. I'm sorry that you, or any of us, have a reason to be here. However, this is a wonderful, warm, loving and supportive group. There is also a lot of knowledge and experience here. I'm glad to hear that your husband is very supportive. As you said, what a blessing! You are wise to take one step and one day at a time. May the visit on 11-02 go well. A suggestion that helped me a lot was to take a friend with you when you go for your consultation. The friend can objectively take notes, putting down everything the doctor says, answers to your questions, etc. Especially when things are so new and overwhelming, it's easy to forget or " blur " things that were said. This way, you'll have a written record to refer back to. You are already reading, which is good. It pays to be informed! Be sure to write down, in advance, any and all questions you have for the doctor. If there is a breast care coordinator where you will be receiving care, be sure to take advantage of her knowledge and help. Mine was an absolute angel! God bless you. You'll be in my prayers. Jill, in Central California New to the group On October 18, 2006, I had a negative mammogram and ultrasound. The report came back with possible breast carcinoma in both breasts. I have an appointment with a specialist. The radiologist told me a biopsy was probably a certainty. Since then I have been reading all the information that I can.
