Guest guest Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 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.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 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. New member > > Hello everyone. My name is Trent, and I am a new member to the IgA group. To tell you a little about myself, I am a 24 year-old Nursing Student in central Illinois. I have a wife, and a 3 year old little boy named, Draelin.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 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. Pierre New member > > Hello everyone. My name is Trent, and I am a new member to the IgA group.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 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?

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 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.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 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! In a message dated 10/22/2004 8:53:59 PM Pacific Daylight Time, trentriden@... writes: > Hello everyone.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 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* S. hi wilcome to the group elezibath. this is janet from nebraska also have thyroid problems. new member> Hello, my name is .

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.
