Keep us updated when you can!
Are you saying the Atg will be difficult to go through as a adult ? It didn't bother me too much when I was a teenager going through it. Except for the time when I got serum sickness from the rabbit atg. I heard that one of the side effects of taking cyclosporine is that you feel run down and tired,. I'm hoping i can return to work the week after I get the atg!??? I work in a hospital, my immune system will probably be so low what if I get sick?

I can't afford to take too much time off work & once my EIB Runs out then I will be billed to keep my medical insurance!
