I have had MS for 40 years. I've always known that it puts women in remission. What is the hormonal connection. Is anybody studying that???

My MS symptoms reared their ugly heads when my 7th child was a year old. I also had one more child after diagnosis and my symptoms did not subside during that pregnancy. I've actually had 10 pregnancies resulting in 8 live births. Although my doctors say that had I not been pregnant so many times, my MS may have showed up many years earlier, it unfortunately didn't seem to lessen my chance of developing it.
