Transient allergic reactions? (Not that Joe's reaction seems too serious at this point ...). Or, do you mean "antibody" reactions?

Maybe you know why the manufacturers (and FDA) have made a point of saying "Do not take Tysabri if you are allergic or have PML", yet many are advised to take antihistimines so that some allergic reactions end up being masked? To me, this seems contradictory, but maybe I'm missing some part of this story.
