Thanks, Sharon - very interesting material. I hadn't considered progesterone as having a role besides "estrogen opposition" before this conversation. Are there any oral formulations of progesterone? It can be frustrating dealing with doctors who don't think outside the box. I've found this...

I have bought some Emerita bio-intedical progesterone creams for my wife and when I give her DHEA (increases estrogen levels) she uses also the progesterone cream as both hormones work much better than progesterone or estriol alone or at least this is what I believe from what have read! But, who kn...

Tekla Great to hear from you and learn that your symptoms have improved so much. Wonderful news. Undoubtedly Provera (MPA) is the standard and most widely prescribed form of progesterone in the US to prevent endometrial hyperplasia in women who are taking estrogen. As far as I know bio-identical pr...

Shayk, the choice of Provera (medroxyprogesterone) was made by my primary care doctor, to prevent endometrial hyperplasia. I have corresponded periodically via email with Rhonda Voskuhl, the neurologist leading the clinical trials of Estriol that are currently underway at seven medical centers in th...

Female, age 42, have been on Copaxone since 10/2007 after MRI showed increased lesion size. No significant progression or flare in that time period. No IPIR. No issues with lipoatrophy. I use a home-made rotation chart that allows me to only use a site 1x/month. Will have an MRI in September and see...

My PCP added medroxyprogesterone 2.5 mg, which I take from day 15 to 25 of each monthly cycle (day one being the day I start my period). She says this will help preve...

Hello fellow PWMS and people who love them. I am a forty-something female living with RRMS some 16+ years. My primary symptoms are balance, sensory issues, lower body strength and ON. I walk, sometimes with a cane and sometimes not. My hubby and I work from home. It's a huge relief to me after battl...

Hi - I've been taking LDN since summer of 2005. I started at 3 mg, went to 4.5, then back to 3. The reason why I reduced the dose was a recommendation from the main website that persons experiencing spasticity due to MS should stay at 3 mg. I believe it makes a difference. I've experienced some incr...

I've been taking Copaxone since last October. I observe very careful site rotation and don't use my arms, but beyond that take no special precautions. I inject everywhere at "10" on the Autoject and put heat on the site afterwards for 15 min. I've had episodes of flushing several times aft...
