serum sickness

Hi everyone:

Today my platelets were 4. How could they go from 23000 to 4000 in 2 days, they must have made a mistake. Whites 2,anc 800, red 7. My doctor wants me go for for a BMT. The rabbit ATG hasn't had time to work yet, right !!! Now I'm down to 5 mg. prednisone and have bad joint pains again and I'm very weak. I've had a headache now for 4 days. So I'm still in serum sickness! I was looking up immunosuppresents and I found Imuran not to have really bad side effects as the others. Has anyone taken Imuran and found it worked? This is really a long haul, and without marrowforum I don't know what I would have done, thanks for the support. Lynn
