Hi, please go easy on me - I'm very new to CKD and to this forum!
Late last year I was diagnosed with IGAN at 35 years old. From what I understand I'm very fortunate as it was diagnosed very early and at the moment I still have very decent kidney function. Since that time I've searched the web for as much info on the condition as possible. Thank goodness I've found this site - real people with real experiences (rather than trying to translate complex medical documents written by doctors, for doctors).
Anyway in terms of medication I'm on the standard stuff - Irbesartan, Prednisolone and MMF. Despite this I'm still having fairly regular flair ups with mouth ulcers, rash down both flanks and some pain around the left kidney. More worryingly though, since around Xmas time, I've been really struggling with joint pain in my fingers, hands wrists, lower back and feet. In addition I'm getting loads of cramps/pins and needles in my hands. Has anybody else with IGAN had similar problems? If so can you offer and suggestions?
TIA
Humphrey
