Hi everyone:

It's been 1 month since the rabbit ATG and my counts are not responding. I have to have transfusions all the time and neuprogen shots. I started to take 20 mg. of prednisone for the joint pains and it takes the edge off but now I have yeast infections and thrush. I feel weaker. I'm worst then before the tx. before I was having 1 red cell transfusion a month, now I'm at the hospital 3 times a week for transfusions and neuprogen shots. They didn't give me cyclosporin. Last time I had the horse ATG my counts responded slowly but I didn't need transfusions, the serum sickness was worse with the horse ATG. Now I'm sick with congestion and a head cold and very weak. Has anyone had numbness down their legs and arms, if so, how long does it last, it's so painful? Thanks, Lynn
