Default Hear say for new med?
My sister overheard talk of working on a new ms med that makes your body think it is pregnant, reason being that when you are pregnant the ms goes into remission. Has anyone heard anything about this?

Estriol, I believe is what she is talking about.

It's been in clinical trial for awhile and there are men in the trial. I don't think they get pg, tho! LOL!

Let me do some searching and see if I can find some of the clinical trial information.

I've been reading about this since I first found out it was possible that I had MS. Now that I know for sure I have it, I'm intrigued by this medication.

Mostly because, if it makes your body think you're pregnant, then, I guess it would mean that women on it would probably not have a particular body function happening every month. Right??

If that's true, I'm so there for wanting to try this med!

But, then again, I'm also seriously intrigued by LDN too.
