And that's it.
To me, the scariest parts are that it is strongly immunosuppressive and you are more likely to get infections - for example I've had several UTIs since starting 8-9 months ago - AND there's the possibility (which increases a lot around 2 years of treatment) of a very bad disease called PML. So I'm hoping to get off after about a year .
