Here here. The after market data on this drug continues to trickle in and I'm still not a fan - neither is my neurologist. Might it be a different story if I were experiencing more rapid progression? Absolutely. But it still makes me mad.
Liver damage is a risk with Tylenol ....but millions upon millions of people take Tylenol.
Liver damage was something I experienced on Avonex. Testing me every six months caught - in time - problems that could still be addressed and rectified: Severe liver damage within 6 days is quite another story. At least in my mind it is. I think it's a little cavalier (as Cherie seemes to suggest) to deal with this simply by suggesting people be on the look out for jaundice - something that indicates severe damage is already done.
