Living with Multiple Sclerosis - I'm in the hospital again

[pmltysabrisucks]

i can relate however my comment is bit late i am in hospital myself due to pml from tysabri i cant walk due to spaticity

[DrMuthanna77]

You are not an ordinary girl, God does not choose regular people for battles like the one you have, You are so genuine and this is not so common in life right now, and just by that you can be and you already are a wonderful public speaker, Your strength makes anyone watching this video living a new experience, and takes all the courage to fight a disease, a huge problem, etc,

May God Keep your gorgeous smile & your optimism always, MS may cos you to shake but will never dare discourage you.

[laurenvparrott]

@DrMuthanna77 Thank you so much for your kind message, and for your support!! That mean so much to me! It absolutely gives me the strength to keep moving forward!! I hope you are well!

[tboy221]

when i get stressed i cut myself with a razor blade

[tributevocalist]

I wanna give you a big hug right now. You are too frickin' cute. I was diagnosed with MS on August 10 of this year. I've started on Copaxone. I haven't had anything remotely close to a flare-up since I've been on it. I'm going strong. I don't plan on having another MS attack!

I really think about you and pray for you and I hope at the moment of posting this, you are doing well and staying strong, and know that complete strangers in this country and world really care about you. God bless you.

[vancouverislandbass]

Awww, stay strong you are so beautiful... please get a metal test. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.

[mayra32074]

I just Got diagnose today, dont know what to do with my life, it seems like no one understand God bless you be strong

[laurenvparrott]

@mayra32074 Everything will be ok, I promise!! God Bless you!

[missrizzo1]

@mayra32074 I was diagnosed just this past March. It can be overwhelming. Do your research and speak to a good doctor about the best medication to be on. I did and settled on Copaxone because it is supposed to be best for the liver. I hope you have a good support system. There are a lot of people and groups out there who can help you along the way and give you the support you need. God bless.

[JasonEBernard1]

You Are Sooo Courageous! GOD BLESS YOU! J

[candy822803]

My dad has MS. It's really tough for him to walk around in our little house. he didn't even knew he had it until he had a really bad car crash. I feel Really bad for you and him. One time he fell in our kitchen and he really hurt himself. It just makes me sad seeing people with MS. Good luck :)

[rvquilter83]

You are adorable. God bless you sweetheart, I hope you are doing better. I don't know how old this video is but I have watched many of yours to understand as my eldest son was diagnosed about 3 weeks ago. It's been tough because he doesn't want to open up to us and he seems quite bitter. I guess I look at these videos to feel like I will get some answers. Please take care and keep that beautiful smile you seem to always have. Do what you like as it always helps me with stress too. God Bless.

[laurenvparrott]

@rvquilter83 Thank you! Don't worry, your son will be ok...it takes time. God bless you!!

[Richie979]

People try to help but unless they've experienced life with MS they can never know the world we've been cast into here?It is very hard dealing with a body you can't rely on from day to day? We can only try our best and hope we come out of the latest episode with limited damage on our live's. Remember! It's Not your fault, You will adapt and the best thing is your friends and family will always love you.!!! You can conquer the world with that lovely smile anyway! Love from Liverpool,yeh,yeh,yeh

[laurenvparrott]

@Richie979 Aww, thank you so much for your comment. I completely agree with you about how people will never know, but we are all going to be fine! My grandmother is my angel, and she is watching out for me! Love from the USA!! xoxoxo

[LYNXVAL]

It is hard to see alot of movies that making you emotional. I get that way too! I am sorry about your grandmother having cancer! That is such a hard thing!! I will pray for your grandmother!

[laurenvparrott]

@LYNXVAL I'm so sorry that it's taken so long to respond. Thank you for your support with my grandmother...it was very hard. Thank you for your prayers! I hope you are doing well!

[perryhtc]

Why doctor afraid to think whether this disease is cause by chronic Mercury poisoning?? may be they even don't know what is Mercury.

Mercury is a neural-toxic heavy metal ! and it is the second most toxic thing in the world. ( The most toxic thing in the world is "Uranium" - a heavy toxic silvery-white radioactive metallic element.)

[laurenvparrott]

@perryhtc Oh gosh, I don't know anything about those things...

[perryhtc]

Also, how many people know that too many vaccine contain Thimerosal (A Mercury compound) as a preservative? Avoid any Mercury intake, eliminate Mercury from your body and get well.

[MSfriend2U]

Lauren, I so appreciate your testimony and your honesty. I too have ms. I am moved by the fact that through all of your experiences, though it is obviously very hard on you physically and emotionally..you still have a strong heart and soul. That is what I cling to. This disease can take a lot from me, but I am determined that it WILL NOT take away my heart and soul. It WILL NOT rob me of my spirit. It is so good that you can still laugh at times. I pray for you  and give thanks for you. :)

[laurenvparrott]

@MSfriend2U Thank you so much!! Your comment really means a lot! Thanks again and I wish you the very best!!

DIANETICS IS THE ANSWER !!

STOP SUFFERING unless you like it.

[luralisious]

i know this video was made a few years ago, but it means a lot to me that you make these videos. i'm 18 i was diagnosed when i was 17 and it really helps to see someone going through the same things as me.

i want to start making videos about my struggles too, i'm so sorry about your grandmother. people tell me to get the stress out of my life all the time. you said everything i want to say. it's more stressful to try and relax.

[laurenvparrott]

@luralisious Thank you so much for your comment! I was diagnosed at 18 so I know exactly where you're coming from. I wish you the very best with everything and I look forward to seeing your videos!

[jeannelovesjon1]

Hang in there girl, you seem very sweet and strong! I also have MS but I am much older. I will be 45 this month. Keep the faith and God bless!

[laurenvparrott]

@jeannelovesjon1 Thank you so much! I wish you the best! God Bless!!

[marthab63]

Hi Lauren,

I started the Tysabri and had 2 infusions already. I go for my third infusion next week. How long did it for you to notice Tysabri working for you.? I know we are all different. and suffer from this horrible disease in different ways. I woke up today and had a flare up. I called my MS center and let them know. I'm suppose to let them know if my flare up continues for 24 hours. So far. so good. So that why I ask you, have you had a flare up while taking Tysabri?

[laurenvparrott]

@marthab63 Hello! I started noticing improvements after my 3rd infusion of Tysabri. I have not had any relapses since I started taking Tysabri. I wish you the very best with everything!

[Willow1120]

Poor darling - my heart goes out to you. Thanks for these videos. I'm going to the neurologist again September 1st.  I hope to find answers then - or the beginning of the answer.

[laurenvparrott]

@Willow1120 I really hope you can find answers from your neurologist!

[czam73]

Hey Lauren,

You're a wonderful girl with an amazing heart. Remember that you're young and there's been medical research advances as well. Don't ever feel sad, there's time and there's alternative treatments towards MS. Try getting foods or taking vitamin supplements that are rich in Omeg 3 Oils. Yoga Excersises help alot as well as cold environments. Don't ever feel sad and always feel free to write.

[laurenvparrott]

@czam73 Thank you so much for writing! You are so sweet - I really appreciate your message!!

[czam73]

Hey Lauren,

You're a very wonderful sweet girl with a beautiful heart. Don't worry about MS. I'll be more happy to give you some advice. You're young and there's still time and there's options to improve and there's medical advances now these days. Feel free to write.

[enodmeedgraffa]

i love Your smile. You're fantastic person. dont give up with MS, recover fast, best wishes! :)

[laurenvparrott]

@enodmeedgraffa Thank you so much! That means a lot to me!

[marthab63]

Thanks Lauren. I watch your video often to reassure myself. It's really encouraging. I definitely will let you know once I get started. It's hard to be patient. I'm trying. Peace, Love and Happiness! I try to look at the positve in life. I hope it works too! I'm ready !

[laurenvparrott]

@marthab63 That's a great attitude!

[marthab63]

Thanks Lauren, I have been thru similar things as you have. I can totally relate.. Im going to start on the Tysabri really soon. I was sick when my mom passed away from cancer. I really appreciate your comments. I have to be more patient with myself and my husband and kids. Ya, MS sucks. Ive had since I was 30 and now Im 47. Im hoping Tsabri is gonna help

[laurenvparrott]

@marthab63 I really hope Tysabri works for you, too! Please keep in touch and let me know. I wish you the best!

[longleggedmakdaddy]

Oh sweetie! My heart goes out to you, I have MS and my grandma died of cancer and she was my best friend and I never got over it, and this made my MS so much worse ever since please don't stress yourself out, it makes us ache more.

God Bless you dear.

[laurenvparrott]

@longleggedmakdaddy Thank you for your support! I'm sorry to hear about your Grandmother :( It's so hard...I still cry about my Grandmother's passing. Yet I know she's in heaven watching over me! God Bless you!

[sipapito]

I have not even finished watching one of your video and I am so moved by it.

My wife its about to be diagnosed with MS,they call her today and told her probably yoy have MS we want to talk to you in person she is 39 and we have a 2 yr old and Im so scared because this is so new to me and want to help her as much as I can.I want to thank you for taking your time to this best wishes and Have a Merry Christmas!

[laurenvparrott]

Thank you so much for writing! Please know that you and your wife can talk to me anytime!! I promise you, everything is going to be fine and there is a huge network of support here on YouTube! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!!

[missmackenzie1]

Lauren you are very brave, I hope that this whole new liberation thing works out so you can get better. my boyfriend has MS, he is 23 and was diagnosed when he was 16. he has had it pretty good though. I haope you get better hun!!!! I will pray for you : )

[laurenvparrott]

Thank you so much for your message! That was so sweet of you. I wish your boyfriend the very best, and I wish you both luck with everything!

[alicepcook]

you are BRAVE BRAVE BRAVE for sharing so deeply about what you are feeling. my Mom has MS and it is so hard to get her to share sometimes. her approach is that there's nothing she can do about it. so she doesn't want to talk much. that might be changing a little lately but I love hearing what other people are experiencing because it helps me to understand what she's feeling - even when she doesn't feel like sharing THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

[laurenvparrott]

Thank you so much!! You are so kind! I wish you and your mother the very best!

[Prissie28]

I saw this video just now. Thank you so much for your honesty and sweetness. I don't know how your grandmother did, but I pray for her. I have had MS for 4 yrs and I'm 29 years. Your videos that I've seen so far makes me feel so good and not so alone. Thank oyu so so much.

[laurenvparrott]

Thank you so much for your message! I really appreciate your comment. Good luck to you and please keep in touch!

[ShroomGirl1975]

Your such a sweet girl with a heart of gold I can tell :) Im sorry to hear of the loss of ur grandma too,I found your page when I was watching a friend of mine, page about MS. and I cry everytime you are sad, God loveya sweetie.I wish I could give ya a big hug!

[laurenvparrott]

Thank you so much! It sounds like you have a heart of gold as well - this was a very sweet message!

[joeygirlmb]

I'm so sorry your grandmother died.

My husband ... well it's obvious when he's going through a tough time.

You are not only helping people with MS Lauren... you are helping a young wife who's in anguish watching the man of her dreams suffer... you give so much hope!

Joey

[laurenvparrott]

Hi Joey! Thank you so much for your comment! That means so much to me, and I wish you and your husband the very best!

[erikahilton]

Good luck with your grandma i know when my grandma goes through problems i'm going to melt down...try to be strong!

[laurenvparrott]

Thank you so much - my Grandma passed away in December of 2007, a few days after I made this video, but I know she's in heaven watching over me. I hope you and your Grandma are doing well!!

[vnecker]

Hi Lauren, I was hoping I could send you a private message. My son is Tommy, who you have helped so much in dealing with his MS. But somethings I would like to keep private. If this is possible please let me know. Thanks for sharing, it helps so many people. Sending you a big hug. Thanks again, Vanessa aka Tommy's Mom.

[luceean]

With all due respect there is no modesty or privacy with MS once you learn that then you have won 90% of the fight.

[typistinahurry]

Hi Lauren, I just wanted to say hi and that I'm in Limboland as the call it, havin glots of ms symptoms and no diagnosis as yet. I'm waitng for my first MRI next week bu tt all the sy mptoms are driving me nuts.

[amigoo45]

Thank you for your words , many thanks for your courage to show us "your fellows in MS" how it really feels. I've been living withit for 5 years now, i hope i can live a beter life.

[laurenvparrott]

Thank YOU for your comment! I'm sure you can live a better life...stay positive and keep your chin up!

[kyriedearie]

I was officially diagnosed in October, but I'd had one episode in 2005 (right before I started college at the University of Michigan). It was crazy because the doctors had assured me that I'd be fine since they weren't seeing anything on the regular MRI's I'd had for 3 years. Watching your video was so inspiring because for a long time I felt like no one understood what I was going through. Thanks so much for that and I will keep your Grandmother in my prayers.

[laurenvparrott]

Oh my gosh, you are a sweetheart! I'm glad that you've been officially diagnosed - not knowing is the worst. Did you graduate from U of M yet? That's awesome that you went there. I'm so glad you can relate to my videos! If you ever have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I wish you the very best!!

[kyriedearie]

I'm glad that you wrote! I'm graduating in May!! I am lucky to have my family around, since I am from Ann Arbor. I'm also participating in the clinical trial for the new drug Campath 1H, so I should receive my first treatment this month!

[laurenvparrott]

Oh wow! Only a few more months until you graduate - can you believe it? Good luck with the Campath trial, and please let me know how it goes!

[macycj]

bless your heart!!

Ive had ms for 2 years,doing okay.

Ive had 2 relapses.

I know how hard ms can be,and like u said,getting stress out of your life is a buncy of bs!!

I have 2 kids,ones 11,and my baby is 6,yeah,huge stresser!!

ss to hear of your grandma,my father in law just passed away a few months ago of bladder cancer..

aly

[laurenvparrott]

Hi Aly! Thank you so much for your comment. It's so true - taking stress out of your life is impossible. Thank you for your condolences. I'm so sorry to hear about your father in law. I hope you're having a wonderful 2009 so far, and I hope your kids are doing well!

[serrabeth]

I was just diagnosed on 12/10 and your videos have helped me.

[laurenvparrott]

So pleased you play the piano, the last attack finished off this skill because my hand-connections have re-grown around the wheel chair. So keep tinkering! And tell the voices of subvocal thinking, internal and external that we all have, to SHUT UP.

[laurenvparrott]

I'm so sorry that your last attack finished off that skill - I wish you the best of luck with everything!

[OMoonliteO77]

Lauren

[gingerandjake]

Lauren - I found your videos from Maya at scrapbookgraphics. I am a digiscrapper inspired by your story. Not sure if you heard but their is a kit for sale by Songbird Ave where the profits go to MS. I plan on buying it.

You are so brave and your videos will do wonders for anyone going through MS. Thank you.

(One more thing. I am also a fellow spartan and am from the detroit area! :))

Hugs!

[laurenvparrott]

Hello! I'm going to look into the kit for sale by Songbird Ave! That's great! Thank you so much for your kind words!

GO GREEN! That's so great that you're a Spartan! And it's nice to hear from someone else in the Detroit area.

I wish you the best!

Lauren :)

[jilljustine]
