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?

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.

Cheryl, they've actually opened the study to people who have been treated with other meds before.
