I agree, Joe has very attentive doctors, doesn't he?

I also agree that Benadryl will not mask severe reactions . . . but the documentation does not refer to JUST severe reactions. It says "do not take Tysabri if you are allergic", and it defines allergic reactions to include symptoms as minor as hives or itching. Benadryl may very well mask those type of symptoms.
