News after 8 weeks of ATG
Hi!
Now that 8 weeks has passed since my husband had ATG treatment had the hospital, we heard for the first time the words "This is beginning to be fine".
Hb - 9.1 (had blood transfusion 1 week ago; but he can be with no transfusions for almost 3 weeks)
Platelets - 64 (last platelets transfusion was 3 weeks ago)
Neutrophils - 1.7
His main problem is feeling weak and tired. Doctors say it might be due to low magnesium in his body - a cyclosporine side effect.
Cyclosporine dosis by now is 150 mg/day.
He has no appettite at all which is being other complain. Does anyone experienced that? He and I feel a little concerned about this because Jorge ate very well until now. I never knew him without wanting to eat.
