Jez:
I had rabbit ATG in March, 4 days later the serum sickness started. I took prednisone 20 mg. and the pain wasn't as bad. They didn't put my on cyclosporine because last time I had horse ATG I had a reaction to it. Anyway, I have to go to the doctor almost everyday because my counts keep falling. I get neuprogen shots and transfusions. I still have serum sickness, but I can't tolerate more prednisone. When I had the horse ATG I didn't need transfusions and my counts started to respond. Did you need alot of transfusions after your ATG? My ferritin level is really high. If you did need transfusions and newprogen shots - how long before your counts responded? Thanks, Lynn
