I find this story to be very confusing. I thought PML was a very fast moving disease that brought death or disability very quickly. I am not aware of copaxone and steroids causing PML, although I guess she is saying she already had PML when she went on these drugs? But again wouldn't it have moved and multiplied extremely fast? There seems to be something missing here in the story. HIV? Other immunocompromised disesases besides Hashimotos? Is there any way this story can be verified? Whatever she is suffering from it sounds very sad.
