Re: LDN and Pregnancy, OFF TOPIC

[Guest guest]

Something else to look into is the effects of MS post-partum. Some on

this group have said it isn't a problem, but in my own experiences with

doctors and medical literature, I had thought it very common for women

to have significant exacerbations after birth and after nursing, if

any. It was a major concern for me when my wife and I were trying to

get pregnant. I used to know a woman who had major problems after

giving birth.
