Gosh, I'm reading such mixed reviews. I thought the unopposed estrogen was risky. Can you give me a link for the info you saw - I'd like to read that very much!

"The Promise of Now:Estriol and Emerging MS Therapeutics"
I don't think I'd be able to make the event, but it got my mind to thinking! See, I'm most worried about what may or may not happen to me once I hit menopause. And had just voiced this concern to a friend of mine, and poof this arrives in the mail 
MizBarbie-I find it wonderful how much better you are feeling!! Thanks a million for this thread!!!
Is this more for women heading towards the menopause years? If so, this sounds sooooo very promising. Right now, I'm only in my early 30's and have a little ways to go and am feeling alright physically with my MS. However, I worry about the future....I can tell anyone firsthand....there is NOTHING in the world like being a pregnant MS woman!! Those pregnancy hormones are quite something! Man, I'm glad that they are focusing their research into some real life relief for us!! |
Thank you!
The women in the study done by Dr. Voskuhl ranged in age from 18-50. I'm 42 and showing no signs of perimenopause yet (and being on the estriol, maybe I won't at all). Thank you for sharing the info from the NMSS. I hope they make transcripts available.
