Hi there,
I echo Marlene's response completely.
I believe the rash and joint pain are, indeed, serum sickness and if you're not on short term prednisone, you should be. If you're already on prednisone, perhaps you need a higher dose. Either way, speak to your hematologist.
The G-CSF is important to keep you infection free as you recover from the ATG and for the next 4 weeks or so, while you're on the prednisone.
Wishing you a complete recovery,
