^^ This line REALLY bothered me from the article. 'Adverse event'? You kidding me? It's almost like they're downplaying the severity of PML... at least that's what I took home from their choice of words.

Apparently it is "survivable" if you have HIV or AIDS but not in this situation? (I remember reading that somewhere I think or my neuro told me.)

It isn't really something you recover from, not like you can go back to any semblance of your life before PML in these cases, if you happen to survive.
