Hi Lisa:
I started to take prednisone for the serum sickness, I took 20 mg. but I need to take more.
The doctor was really out of line. It took alot for me to go to NYC and to be around all those people when my counts are so low, and I was in so much pain. He just wanted me to sign my life away without any financial help. I want to see if this rabbit ATG works.
Last year I went to Yale in CT. and they cross-matched my sister and brother free, but they weren't a match to me. I've been going to my local doctor and have been getting alot of transfusions and neuprogen shots. I hope the ATG will soon kick in. When I had the horse ATG I had 1 platelet transfusion and in a few weeks my count came up, the red were 13, the whte 6, but the platelets only came up to 40, it lasted for 18 months then I needed transfusions again, but only once a year.
What is IST? Thanks, Lynn
