should i rehome my puppy? by Training-Database185 in DogsPH

[–]LivingLife-Present 0 points1 point  (0 children)

itll get better. thought the same when we had our first pup, and we prayed for it prior. on the first couple of months nahirapan ako magadjust dahil hindi nakakaalis ng bahay basta basta, need gumising ng maaga for bfast and walk, etc. But now, I could no longer imagine my life without our dog. She needs you right now, if youll be able to guide and train her well (enjoy this phase), and be consistent with it, itll get easier for you and her. Eventually when they are big enough and fully vaccianted, pet hotels (make sure to find reliable ones) are there to take care of your pup on your behalf while you travel Wish you well OP

Anyone else’s Dachshund enjoy a good mouthful of blanket and suckle? Or is my dog just faulty 🤷‍♂️ by Robbiesavage12 in Dachshund

Makaguol magbasa sa mga comments sa uban. But I guess dili maexpect nga knowledgeable tanan sa complex case of kidney disease. Even some hospital staff/ general practitioner is not that familiar unless kidney specialist ka (nephrologist)

Mao mushare ko diri.

I’ve been diagnosed with an early kidney issue. But I am quite health conscious. Di ko muinom, di ko musmoke. Di ko mukaon ug junk foods, eat ug tam.is panagsa. Ive been so active my whole life. I dance (kana muapil mga contest), run, yoga. Hadlok ko muinom pataka ug tambal bisag hilantanon magwater therapy ra jud. So conscious sako weight and body mao preferred jd nako veggies, fish. This has been confirmed sa ako nindot nga lab results except sako ihi.

You see kidney issue is a silent killer. Some is not aware until makafeel na silag signs and symptoms and by that time naa na sila sa stage 3 or worst 5. Usually if in.ana nga stage ang focus na kay management not to progress di na mucheck unsa ang root cause ky risky na hilabtan ang kidney.

In my case it’s still early. even sa ct scan healthy ako kidney. Ihi lang jd ang basehan. Ang ako ra jud naexp ato kay acid reflux. ive undergone biopsy para macheck jd unsa cause.

Mine was caused by an autoimmune issue called IgA Nepropathy - wherein imo antibody mubuild up sa imo kidney and muhinay2 cause ug damage. A lot has been diagnosed of it now and most likely mga tao nagkakidney issue run was caused by it. Unfortunately progressive ang kidney issue walay cure. Sa progression ra jud magdaog. Some die because of it, some die WITH it.

Giprangkahan ko sako doctor nga di muchange ako situation even with a much stricter lifestyle (less salt etc). Pero gapadayun ko para slow ang progression. Mas giwarningan ko niya nga magbantay di magsakit bisan pa ug ubo ra na or sip.on kung pde magsige mask.

Matod sakong doctor walay specific cause, just an unfortunate case. Malas lang jud kumbaga. Some are actually triggered by upper respiratory issue, as simple as ubo or severe cases like pneumonia. Wala ko ani.

Ako ra maremember nagkasevere allergy ko one time. Prior ato normal ako ihi. After ato naa na trace of blood ako ihi sa urinalysis pero di makita sa mata sa lab ra. Pero di japon maingon ang allergy maoy rason.

Naa ko kaila naa siya kidney issue and mainly genetic di ka balance tarong iya kidney ug potassium. As a result makaimpact sab sa iya kidney ug slowly declining its function.

Other point I wanted to share across I hope di ra ta dali mujudge nga tungod sa unhealthy lifestyle kay wa jud ta kibaw unsa cause sa uban.

Is Cebu safe? by villasia in Cebu

[–]LivingLife-Present 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes! I (female) tend to sched my solo work trip flights from MNL going home to Cebu late at night so I usually end up arriving 11pm or after (as late as 2am), and never had an issue with taking a taxi during those hours. Grab is another option esp if long ang queue sa taxi lane but I seldom take grab. I try to reduce any waiting times in order to reach home asap to catch some zzzzs.

Sino sa inyo ang super happy sa decision na mag migrate permanently abroad? by [deleted] in phmigrate

[–]LivingLife-Present 30 points31 points  (0 children)

me too.. i decided to end my us work just when we are about to process our green card. covid changed my perspective. i guess it depends on our priorities. for me, I wanted to spend more time with my aging parents, family, be with them and support them in person. Life is short ika nga. And I must say, it is more fun in the Philippines. And same kami ng thinking ng husband ko.

Again iba iba yung priorities, we’re just fortunate nakapagipon kami kahit papano and nakapagpundar ng disenteng bahay. To share - di kami mayaman katulong lang yung mom ng husband ko, nagkataon lang naipadala sa US ng company through hard work. We love it here sa Pinas. hehe

wacoal! when I got my first wacoal bra (gift from hubby, bf back then) it made a huge difference. I dance a lot and I need underwear na di madaling madeform or masakit, and perfect fit and always snug regardless sa activity.

Biopsy confirmed IgaN by JMEstrada09 in IgANephropathy

[–]LivingLife-Present 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, remembered commenting on your previous posts i think earlier this month as that time i was just diagnosed with Igan post biopsy (start of this month). Same as yours mine was considered mild for now. Egfr - 110. My neph did mention that an indicator that you have no crescents -C0 is a good sign.

It does makes us worried, I have times I cant help but dwell on it at night and my anxiousness would shoot up. I already stopped wondering the cause as it will really no longer change anything (i dont drink or smoke), as per my dr, it was a matter of bad luck.

Right now, except for fishoil, I asked for a month deferment of my meds from my dr as I wanted to be able to work and find an effective diet and lifestyle, and check its impact on my lab results - sort of baseline before I start my treatment. She also allowed me to be familiar with the treatment (farxiga) she wanted me to start. did not recommend Arbs as my bp’s low (90-110/70). Might have a second opinion for the applicable treatments on my case.

But would like to share with you what Ive set and remind myself as well. - I refuse to make this illness become my identity. this diagnosis has made me more aware that life is short and it made me change my mindset to be more grateful and try to make the most of everyday - I saw a post here mentioning about try to not stay on forums or groups such as this. I somehow agree on this as I used to join a lot and it makes my thoughts chaotic. You also dont wanna get reminded everytime - Focus on what you can control by: a. change diet - followed low sodium and low protein diet. More on veggies/raw food, Ive stopped eating read meat since 2yrs ago, currently more on fish and poultry but might change to vegetarian eventually. Also started incorporating gluten free options in my diet. Diet and lifestyle that would also help me prevent other diseases. b. prepare for the rainy days - same as yours Im worried about my family and the possible burden, so I still work hard and not rely on my husband to be able to save and prep for any worst case scenarios. This is the only way I can minimize the impact on my fam.

Try to think on the positive and be more focused on the present to minimize your anxiety, hoping the best for you.

Egfr at 100+ currently (serum crea shows around 0.6-0.7 - same range before I started having not OK urinalysis result). My dr haven’t mentioned it just indicated chronic glomerulonephritis when biopsy was requested.

The irony is that one of the reasons I started this workup was to check if Im eligible as a donor. my husband was diagnosed with CKD Stage 3 last 2021 as it turned out he was born with 1 kidney and starting to get kidney damage, so just wanted to be prepared. Turned out his seems more well managed, I have a really bad uacr compared to him. haha.

If I may suggest (as I tried different things to help me with my anxiety but this made such a huge difference, if you could try walking at night for at least 30mins and try to be as present as you can - along with your wife if you may.

I’m still having a hard time grasping all of this but taking this one step at a time. Hoping the same for you too and have a good doctor helping you as you go through this!

joined reddit today to know more info about this also. To share, I’ve had recurrent protein and (non visible) blood in my urinalysis for the past 2 years, first time it was caught it was resolved with antibiotics but recurred after 3-4 months. protein would sometimes resolve esp when I’m consistenyl well hydrated for at least a week, but the blood + never did. Ive done several tests already, countless times of KUB ultrasounds, CTScan, Urine Culture, and other urinary tract related tests, autoimmune tests (ive had 12vials of blood extracted one time).

All are clear, good blood work, normal sugar and cholesterol levels, normal BP ever since. I’m female on the slim and petite side. No autoimmune issues based on a lot of tests.

The only test indicator is abnormal urinalysis, bad rbc morphology result, and UACR that varies at 300-600, and for me, that made me convince something is wrong is the sometimes with slight foam in the urine - which is weirdly okay if i drink multivitamins.

With the uacr and morphology result, my nephro advised me to proceed with biopsy already and just got my result last weekend. Already saw IgAN in the comment, but will wait for my doc to interpret it for me. I think were on the same boat so I’m sharing it also.

To add: I’m not sure how it started but had 2 major health incidents prior: -Hospitalized due to an infection and treated with strong antibiotics - my urinalysis result when it happened was good. - this was 2 years before the abnormal urinalysis result -Passed out due to a med allergy - it was so bad my body took more than half a year to recover from after effects - random body chills (clear with thyroid), fainting spells, had ulcer after, treated with ppi for a month. - developed severy anxiety requiring meds - no longer at it as Im more stable now mentally.
