Well, here is my story. I was either pregnant or nursing for 5 years. During this time my MS was under perfect control. After I weaned my daughter, I went downhill quickly. It is 2 years later, and I am no longer walking or functioning. The estriol trials looked promising to me, but I am now secondary progressive and have had MS for over 20 years. I am not a candidate for most trials. I feel the estriol could be a life-saver for me (literally). Are there international pharmacies available from which I could get a suupy?

You can get bio-identical hormones (for now) in topical cream form. The estriol in capsule form needs to be prescribed for you and supplied by a compounding pharmacy.

Googling "micronized estriol" will yield a number of suppliers of cream.

Certainly talking to your OB/Gyn about prescribing hormones is also a possibility.

Thanks Barbie,

That's exactly what I did!! I've started with 1mg. and will increase slowly to the full 8mg. BTW, Dr. McCandless mailed me and said that 100mg. of progesterone must complement the 8mg. of estriol. She is an expert of bio-identical hormones.
