Are you sure that you are not tapering prednisone too soon or too quickly? I was on the full dose for two weeks following my last day of ATG, as serum sickness can extend that long. As miserable as prednisone is, it does help prevent serum sickness. All total, I was on prednisone for about a month, including the taper.
Typically, prednisone will cause a false rise in your WBC, so it is concerning that your WBC remains low. Be very careful! Your platelets look great though, from my perspective. It took me much longer to get transfusion free.
