Hi all,
Is anyone familiar with the drug, DES? It was used by woman to prevent miscarriages around the 1950's. It is a synthetic hormone and later they found that it caused female problems for the daughters born of the woman who took it.
I am a DES baby and in those days woman didn't know they were pregnant as quickly as now so I have no idea how long my mom took it after I was conceived.
They are still researching the medical issues that it created. I am the youngest of five and the only one that my mom took the drug with. I am also the only one in the family that has had vast medical problems.

I often wonder if any of the many problems I have pertain to that drug.
Does anyone know anything about it? I would be curious if there is any correlation and if anyone has suffered from strange maladies and was subjected to DES.

This would be the site to get some statistics started.

It is on the list of things that I will be telling the Docs at Mayo. Who knows, it may mean something to them and perhaps they have seen similar problems with woman who where exposed to it.

It would be interesting to see if anyone knows of this drug and has some input. Maybe we could help with the research and have a cure named after Neurotalk. How cool would that be??? :icon_wink:

Thanks,
Judy
