Many patients receiving ATG have reactions to pre-meds and/or the ATG, as if the doctors and nurses have to find the right doses of pre-meds by trial and error. My wife had strong cramps from the first treatment, which required pre-med adjustments. After the adjustments she had no adverse reactions during treatment. Doug's reactions were different but I thought you should know that it might get easier, not harder, after this point.
