Good Morning to all. Let me introduce myself. My name is Sandy, I am 44 years old. I was diagnosed with insulin dependent diabetes when I was 13, additionally blessed with Multiple Sclerosis at age 31. I am currently on an insulin pump for my diabetes management, and receive a monthly IV infusion of Tysabri for the MS. I have received Tysabri every month for 5 years. I tested positive for the JC virus last year.

Although, there are new oral meds for MS, my neurologist said they are only about 60% compared to Tysabri. Wants to go to every other month on Tysabri, and work toward switching to the BG12 oral when it comes out in the Spring.

I have a friend, who is involved with the Estriol and hormone trials, and has had phenominal results. Anyone else have any experience with this drug, and any knowledge how you get in contact with those in the know? Any other helpful advice?

Any info in regards to any matter, would be much appreciated.
