driving

After ATG I had to be on so much prednisone that I could not drive. It affected my judgement and alertness too much. Once I weaned off of them, I started driving. I was also able to work part time once off of steroids but due to fatigue, swelling in my legs, and other side effects did not return to work full time until 20 months after ATG treatment.... just FYI.... I work in health care. Hope this helps. I did not receive spleenectomy so cannot help you much there.
