No problem. However, since it seems you are responding so well to medications for MS, I would imagine your diagnosis is accurate. Still, it never hurts to check it out :) I hope you keep making great improvements!!
By: laurenvparrott. on 08 Dec 08, 16:48:30
Thank you - no one has ever told me that. I will definitely look into it!
By: laurenvparrott. on 08 Dec 08, 16:47:08
Thank you, I'm feeling great! How are you?
By: sarakeeton. on 07 Dec 08, 03:27:05
Please look into lyme disease. I was misdiagnosed with MS and so were many, many people. I am not trying to say t hat your diagnosis are inaccurate, but simply that it can't hurt to look into it.
By: sarakeeton. on 07 Dec 08, 03:23:01
hi Lauren hope you're feeling well
By: laurenvparrott. on 01 Dec 08, 13:13:01
Thank YOU for writing. Hospitals can definitely be sad but I love the doctors and nurses that help me! They sure make it easier!
By: sans15. on 01 Dec 08, 05:07:48
Thank You for sharing this dreaded M.S.? I would be the opposite of your position of medical experience by learning to help others? Hospitals are sad.
By: laurenvparrott. on 30 Nov 08, 22:05:48
Thank you! I'm so glad this is helping you!! No matter what your neuro says, I promise you're going to be ok!! Thank you for your message and please keep in touch!
By: marcwilliamUK. on 29 Nov 08, 16:50:22
Hi Lauren! Just thought i'd tell you i think what you're doing is really great and its reeeaally helping me out :) I've got another appointment at the neuro to determine what is wrong but with the twitching/tremors, eye problems, pins and needles, memory problems, fatigue and anxiety i'm not optimistic lol :( It's great though to see that its still possible to live like everyone else.. you look FANTASTIC!!
By: laurenvparrott. on 27 Nov 08, 14:17:42
Thank you! I watched some of your videos - you have a beautiful voice! I also read up on your health condition. I had never heard of it, but I think it's so great that you're getting the word out there to help other people! I wish you and your friend the best!
By: gurglez. on 27 Nov 08, 09:06:49
My friend was just diagnosed with MS recently. It's awesome that you're making these videos to help people learn more about what living with MS is like. I make videos of my health condition too. That's why I have this youtube account. It really helps. I get messages from people all the time telling me how much they appreciate my videos. Yours is amazing and thank you agian for helping me understand this more :)

The best thing for my body is getting massages because they ease my muscles and nerves. I know there are several pain relievers that MS patients take - I would talk to your doctor. Good luck!
By: Squabbles10. on 14 Nov 08, 01:14:44
Have you had any thing ease the pain of MS or any progress ?
By: laurenvparrott. on 10 Nov 08, 12:28:40
Yes, it was miserable. I'm so thankful I don't have to take it anymore!
By: nsirgado. on 10 Nov 08, 07:40:55
i remember copaxone had horrible hives, ouch

We all have to do what we believe is right for our bodies and I'm so glad that you've enjoyed it all!
By: Alexknobsob. on 11 Aug 08, 10:21:56
Beautiful. For me, and I'm only talking about me, I have never taken any medicines apart from 1 flash of cortisone, but finished up in a wheel chair permanently. So I stopped this Malarky. Cortisone or not it was on my plate anyway and I've enjoyed it all surprisingly!
By: laurenvparrott. on 31 Jul 08, 20:18:15
I will definitely check out your video. Thank you so much for your sweet comments! I will write a comment when I watch your video!
By: kaylasaretard3. on 31 Jul 08, 17:11:54
I don't have Multiple Sclerosis but I did make a video about it and I'm hoping to get some feedback. I would LOVE it if you checked out my video and commented, and that goes for anyone who'd like to check it out. Your such a strong person, and even though we don't know each other, in my heart I feel proud of you that you're able to stay positive day after day! ?
By: laurenvparrott. on 18 Jul 08, 01:32:28
Thank you for writing!! I really hope your strength improves in your left leg. You're so right - we have MS but we are so much more!!
By: elleni49er. on 16 Jul 08, 20:06:42
Hi Lauren, I've had MS since 1997.I've been on Tysabri for 1yr. While my MRIs are encouraging, over the last year, I have been getting weaker. Lately, I can't move my left leg. I also have balence and strength issues. I use a crutch to get around. At work I use a scooter. You remind me of myself when I was diagnosed. Don't be scared. Now, I'm married and I teach jr. high. Remember, we have MS,but we are so much more than that!
By: laurenvparrott. on 12 Jul 08, 13:53:36
Hello! I started on Copaxone and took it for one year. It actually didn't help me personally, but I know several people that are seeing wonderful results from it. It is an injection once every day. I'm sure you're neuro will know which drug you should start with, and if you have to change medications it is very normal. I've been on 3 different drugs and Tysabri is the best for me. Good luck and keep me posted!! Lauren
By: u4ikreign. on 10 Jul 08, 14:45:18
Hi Lauren My neuro is 98% positive that I have MS based on my brain, neck, and spinal cord MRI scans. I'm having a spinal tap to confirm for sure in a couple of weeks. He hasn't mentioned Tysabri to me at all, but mentioned interferon shots and Copaxone. Can you give me any feedback on Copaxone?
By: laurenvparrott. on 09 Jul 08, 01:04:36
Everyone is different. Medication has helped me tremendously but I'm so glad that you are doing well!
By: sans15. on 08 Jul 08, 04:58:24
Why do we need medication, when medications got me into a wheelchair. I as diagnosed with MS in 2001. I am alive without meds, bread or sugar. Without relapse just with a diet change.
