serum sickness

Hi everyone:
Yesterday I had red cells, Tues platelets with rigors and fever. Today I woke up with huge blood blisters in my mouth and tongue and my gums are bleeding. I had the horse ATG 11 years ago and it worked in 3 weeks. It's been 3 1/2 months since the rabbit ATG and it's made me worse then I was before it. Is it too soon to have the the horse ATG? My platelets are 1 and the reds drop as soon as I get them, and the whites are not holding. Before the ATG I had to go once a month for red cells now every blood line is crashing. THey won't give my cyclosporine or Prograf again because they said that it would bring my counts down. NOw I'm really scared and don't know what to do, and I'm running out of time. Lynn
