We have a 26 yo female who is desiring pregnancy. She has a history of IGA neuropathy in which she had bilateral kidney transplants. She is currently taking cellcept post transplant. She is questioning which would be advised, cellcept in pregnancy or Imuran. Anyone have any experience either way they would like to share? Thank you! >>> rchudacoff@mylinuxisp.com 10/29/02 07:36PM >>> Have you thought of using Neurontin?

I have alot of experience and information on helpful treatments for endometriosis and adenomyosis. I suggest the following Tx. 1)MRI scan/Mirena IUD inserted under GA I suggest taking a MRI scan of the uterus to find where the adenomyosis is present. (If it is scattered throughout the entire uterus, the Mirena iud will probably be expelled). However if it is in an area away from the posterior of the uterus, it may be implanted successfully, (Under GA.-for those,like me in extreme pain) 2)Organochlorins. Reduce the amount of enviromental organochlorines to help reduce oestrogen levels. I have a water filter to filter out chlorine. Seat down on toilet before flushing, avoid swimming pools...etc 3)Organic Diet. Plenty of organic fruit and veges,cut out dairy foods, chicken and red meats. See naturopath-for diet, allergy hair tests and celloids,(esp, Magnesium, zinc and BIO E- also helps reduce post-op adhesions) 4)Celloids as mentioned above ( for at least 6-12 months) 5)Exercise when able (walking) No jogging or heavy lifting. 6)Ponstan, to reduce prostaglandins. For further information, don't hesitate to E-mail me as I genuinely want to help other women with this debilitating and painful disease. -- Yours sincerely Joanna Massey Next message: Joanne Bulley, MD: "Re: Treatment for Adenomyosis?"
