Thanks Michelle and Carol, my last infusion of rabbit-ATG was March 22, so it's not a month yet. When I had the horse ATG 10 years ago, I had joint pain for 2 years. I don't think this one will be as bad because I didn't get the bad rash all over, and I found out later that I was allergic to horse before because they use that in tetnaus shots and I got a high fever and rash with the shot. I'm trying not to take the steriods because I get really shakey and my hearts pounds and my pulse races with the steriods. They only problem with this treatment is that my counts keep bottoming out and I need alot of transfusions. Is this normal? Thank you for all your help, Lynn
