Hi Sarah,

I am sorry to read that things aren't improving for you. Have you discussed with your doctor whether horse or rabbit ATG is an option, in combination with cycloporine? This is a more standard treatment regimen for AA, especially if you are becoming transfusion dependent.

Again don't think things are improving if your WBC is higher but you are also taking prednisone. Prednisone causes a false rise in WBC.
