I've decided to look for another Neurologist. There's been too many instances of him not disclosing all the risks for certain meds (PML to be exact).

I know it's my responsibility to at least do my own research before blindly accepting what I'm told as the truth.....and I have learned that lesson well with the suggestion of MS drugs that carry a significant PML risk (Tysabri and Gilenya).

And the knowledge that the FDA issued a PML warning for Tecfidera and I was on that drug for nearly a year before having a terrible allergic reaction and stopping it. And I am JCV positive and had NO testing before starting the Tec!!

Never again will I accept what I'm being told as the truth before confirming it myself.
