Hormones please
Recent research shows that a hormone produced during pregnancy helps to calm multiple sclerosis. It's been known for some time that the relapse rate drops considerably during a woman's pregnancy, and now researchers know a little more about why that is true.
I wonder if it will come to the point where these hormones are offered as a therapy. I mean, I'm not exactly a macho guy now. When I learned that MS affects nearly twice as many women as men, my wife was quick to point out my feminine side as the explanation for me having it. I'm not sure if female hormones would be the best thing for me.
Anyway, I'm glad to see this research may prove to be promising. Another step towards understanding multiple sclerosis.
