Most people have the JC virus, upwards of 80% of the population have antibodies. I have the JC virus antibodies as well and that was all fine and wel but Butte I’m on Techfidera which has reactivated the JC virus. Extremely rare, but, when reactivated, it causes PML.
PML symptoms are exactly like MS. Specifically the symptoms that trigger the change from copaxone. So… Am I experiencing normal ms symptoms? Or PML? Dunno!
It’s freaky enough that I’m in emerg waiting to be seen in other to rule it out. Like the nurse said, it’s the damn zebras.
