Kimberly,

Find a new doctor today. Others who have experience with ATG will respond and will have suggestions for you. But you really need to be treated by a doctor with experience in treating AA.

The aches and pains are most likely a result of serum sickness from the ATG which can hit post ATG treatment. It is treated with steroids. Regarding the clyclo, it a pretty important component of the ATG treatment. If you cannot get to new doctor, your doctor should be consulting with Dr. Young at the National Institute of Health. At this point, it is time to find a new doc. Sounds like this one is leaving you high and dry.
