serum sickness
Hi everyone:
My counts continue to drop drastically. Yesterday after a platelet transfusion on Wed they were 2, so I had another transfusion. Last night I had severe large petecei all over, brusing and blood blisters in my mouth. I stopped the exjade and diflucan, and I am on 10 mg. of prednisone for the joint pains, which isn't helping much. I've had a headache for 2 days now. All my counts are dropping. Tues. wht 4 - Anc 2400, Fri wht 3.5-Anc 1400, rbc Tues 9.4 - Fri 9 platelets were 3 on Tues and I had a transfusion then on Fri they were 2 and I had another transfusion, then the petecei and bruising last night.
I was better off before the rabbit ATG. Has this happened to anyone else, because when I had the horse ATG I didn't have any transfusions and my counts responded within 6 -8 weeks of treatment, but my platelets only went to 40. I'm really nervous!!! Any help would be appreciated - desperate, Lynn
