I forgot to answer a few of your questions. My son had severe pain in his knees for about a week. Dr said he could take some tylenol and this seemed to help. No more complaints but sometimes I think he doesn't think about his illiness and goes on with life like a typical teenager. I do believe that one of the side effects of either cyclosporine or ATG is joint pain. Have you talked to the dr about this. This is great for him as I want him to have a normal life especially at such an important time in his life senior year of highschool. I'm the worry wart constantly questioning him. His appetite has decreased dramatically! He used to eat so much I could hardly afford to feed him. We never had leftovers. Now he eats much less, everytime I ask him if he's hungary he says not really. Hope this helps.
