ATG
Hi - I had ATG treatment at the NIH 7 yrs ago. It was like you are experiencing, bad flu like symptoms. I had what is called serum sickness after like 2 weeks. It was horrible (sorry) my legs swelled, and turned purple and couldn't walk on them. I also took Cyclosporin and Prednisone, benedryl, lasix and pain pills. Are you being followed by someone who is familiar with the treatment at home? Blood tests were done weekly. The treatment is hard but works. I wish you the best and let me know how you do.
