Guest guest Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Hi Priya, That is not a silly question at all. Unfortunately, both kidneys are equally effected by IgAN. If only one were, we would never reach end stage renal disease because one kidney is more than enough to sustain good renal function as in the case of a transplant. I actually asked my Neph that question when I had my first biopsy.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Hi Kayla. My daughter is 9 and was diagnosed this year. The way they explained this, they said when one kidney is affected, both are. Hope this helps. Tara Question Hi, I have a question...some of you might think it is silly but anyway I am asking it...when we have igan, do both the kidneys get affected at the same time??? so the glomureli (is the spelling correct) in both kidneys get scarred??? priya To edit your settings for the group, go to our Yahoo Group home page: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/iga-nephropathy/ To unsubcribe via email, iga-nephropathy-unsubscribe Visit our companion website at www.igan.ca.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 I didn't do reconstruction but I did have two mastectomies. I've had "The girls and The bra " for a long time now. Normally I wear them when I go somewhere but if I know I'm going to be home all day they stay put away. My sister Donna had bilateral mastectomy also and she Never even bought The girls, just went the way she was. She never even bought a wig until a few months before her death and that was only because she was going on a cruise to Alaska. SharonBrendurall@... wrote: I had implants the day of surgery 9-23-04. I lost my implants within three months due to staph infection. I then purchased The girls and The bra, so I would have something there on my chest in their place. Now I have had them for a little over a year, (wow, it feels good to say that.) I have decided Not to have reconstruction. I even decided that some days the girls stay home. Anyone else where I am with that issue? ren Yahoo! Mail Use Photomail to share photos without annoying attachments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 My daughter told me that Wal-Mart was selling bras that had water filled boobs in them. Has anyone seen those? You can get it in different sizes. So does that mean we can put water balloons in there? Ren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Quick question, What effect will a high acid stomach issue have on thyroid absorption. I ask for a couple of reasons which I will try to explain. And I will post a separarte question on another thread. But I just finished a round of prednisone...a shot in the dark at some cluster like hedaches I have been having. However I am wondering if my headaches are thryoid related but I will get into this on another thread with some questions Anyway...the pred really tears up your stomach and I noticed that I was having some bad heartburn and know I probably have had some before this round of steroids. But knowing that for a while I have been a bad converter of t4 to t3 and have been told I have some malabsortion issues can you tell me does a high stomach acid contribute to blocking thryoid meds? Typically I thought hypo's have low stomach acid. Just thinking out loud here. (my other thought is my RT3 problem is worse and some of these symptoms are related. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I do nto think it affects it much if at all I often have high acid and I absorb it just fine. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 , For me I used to get headaches every day in the afternoon until I went on dessicated thyroid. It's plausible...at least for me, low thyroid makes headaches. I also find that anytime I increase or go on HC I get heartburn. It does increase your stomach acid although usually temporarily. Except in cases when the dose is too high. For me it usually lasts a few days when I first increase the HC and then settles down. I have not notices the acid being a problem with absorbing thyroid meds. If anything it should help because you will actually have enough digestive juices to digest. Typically people with low endocrine function do not have enough stomach acid until they begin treatment. So yes, typically hypos have low stomach acid, until they go on HC....or pred and correct some of the dysfunction. Malabsorption can be from having low stomach acid previously or it can be from chronic candida in the gut, parasites...etc. Just some food for though...
