Great!

Sounds like it did the trick!

When I had full-blown AA this summer, I felt all kinds of weirdness. I was dizzy with hot flashes and just a general "yuck" feeling in my stomach.

She should be getting ready for treatment soon...ATG allergy test etc...
I felt a lot better once they admitted me and we started treatment.

Also, make sure you push for horse ATG and not rabbit. Horse has been shown to be twice as effective as rabbit in recent studies. I don't know what the standard is in England, but continental Europe is almost all rabbit ATG from what I've heard.

Keep us updated once she goes into treatment.

Our thoughts are with you,

Ryan
