IgA Nephropathy - Managing flare ups

My doctor ordered bloodwork and an urinalysis yesterday. Will get results tomorrow. Seven years since diagnosis. When I was first admitted to hospital the doctor surmised that I would need a transplant within 6 months. That is how bad things were back then! Six IV treatments of Cytoxin, high doses of prednisone since the start, 3 types of blood pressure meds twice daily, and numerous other pills. My quality of life is “no quality”! That is what irks me the most. Feeling exhausted and beat up!
Yes, IgA is incurable. Sad fact! I just hope to someday be the person I was before this illness!
Are you living with Berger’s disease also? I hope you are feeling well, thanks for your time!

Don't have Berger's, at least it hasn't been diagnosed. I cope with stage 3 CKD, diabetes, COPD, CHF, Hypertension, Fibromyalgia and Clinical Depression. Right now most of those are being managed but I hear you about being tired. Sending you positive vibes-feel better soon!
