Flaunt, I'd go back and ask her why she thinks it would be dangerous for you, and come prepared with a friend, paper & pen, or a tape recorder. I'd ask for a detailed explanation.

My MS Specialist and doctor did not recommend the CRABs (or steroids) for me, in particular, because of where my damage was (mostly the spine). He said the CRABs are not effective for these lesions. Since I only had a few in the brain (after 12+ yrs), he did not think this was a good approach.

I went home and did my own research, and in the end I agreed with him. That is what I suggest you do; find out "why" this is your neuro's recommendation, then research yourself. If you don't agree, then seek another opinion.
