There are risks and benefits to EVERY drug. Aspirin included. Some effects are what we seek when we take a drug, like caffeine keeps you awake, dilates blood vessels and speeds up your heart. We want to wake up! but we dont always want our hearts to race. Some times that side effect is infection, organ failure, or even death.

I am so glad that you are really researching whether or not you want to continue on Ty, even tho the risk is 1 in 10.6 of developing this dread disease, and they are working hard to figure out how to pull patients out of it if they get it. You are making an INFORMED choice and I couldnt be more proud of you.

Keep up the good work.
