Living with Multiple Sclerosis - I need more rest!.mpg

[DrMuthanna77]

Talking about Olympics, Pardon me to say that, YOU are the one who earned the Medal, You are the Youtube Cinderella, Gosh you are so beautiful, and your spirit is as beautiful as your face.

I pray to God that you will stay happy, optimist, and healthy

[laurenvparrott]

@DrMuthanna77 Oh my gosh thank you so much for your kind comment!! I pray that you will be happy, optimisitc and healthy as well!!

If you’re diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, cheer up because the cure for MS is already discovered, and it’s called “CCSVI,” or “The Liberation Treatment!” This cure was discovered by “Dr. Zamboni!” You can search this here on You Tube. Just search: “CCSVI,” and/or “The Liberation Treatment,” and/or “Doctor Zamboni!” You can also log on Facebook and check”CCSVI in Multiple Sclerosis!” Feel better!

[ADAIERS]

I dont know but i have the worst sleeping pattern, known to man

I got ms but i barely sleep, however when i do sleep and i dont need to get up i can sleep for 13 hours or more and still feel slightly tired after it

[laurenvparrott]

@ADAIERS Yeah, I'm usually always tired. Good luck to you!

[laurenvparrott]

@ADAIERS Yeah, I'm usually always tired. Good luck to you!

[NikiBoBicki]

Oh you are so right. My friend said to me when I turned down an invitation to go to a party on a work night "oh come on, you won't miss one night of sleep" and I said OH YES I WILL!

People say to me, what will you remember in 20 years? Going to bed early or having fun with us, and you know what, when I was younger I used to believe that I would remember the fun more. But now that I have MS, I value my rest, and my daily live more. I need rest, I need it to be happy :) I work to remember that :)

[laurenvparrott]

I totally agree with you - I value my rest too! I hope you're having a wonderful and restful week!

[laurenvparrott]

[nealnc07]

everyone needs more sleep.I stay up late at night too, and i cant get to sleep sometimes when i want to. Use that dvr! Thanks for your videos, too! Cant wait for the next one.

[laurenvparrott]

Thanks for writing! Yeah I really have to use my DVR :)

[MSVlogSupport]

HI Lauren,

I think when we are having good days we tend to over do. Learning to listen to our bodies is improtant and I think you just made the case for it :-)

The Olympics were pretty awesome and I stayed up late a few night myself.

Glad your feeling better!!

Hugs,

Andrea

[laurenvparrott]

Hi Andrea!

You're so right - we do over-do it if we're feeling good. But the Olympics were so awesome to watch!

Thank you so much for your support! I hope you have a great weekend!

xoxo

Lauren :)

[margaretannem8s]

Thank you so much for your vids. You help me understand MS better so I can understand what a friend of mine is going through. Blessings! Enjoy the Olympics from the comfort of your dvr!! :)

[laurenvparrott]

Thank you so much!!

[Ydiamond5]

Hi worldwide Lauren, wassup ? ;)

I know what youre talking about as to adequate sleeping hours.

In my case for instance, in addition, I dont have the ability to fall asleep even if I feel dead tired (Insomnia), so you can probably imagine the conflict between what I feel and what I need.

Yeah, its a problem regarding to the fact that we need the sleeping hours so much.

Anyway, keep your sweet smile on :)

Im sending you good vibrations from Israel :)

Feel good

Yaron

[laurenvparrott]

Hi Yaron! It's so great to hear from you! I also have trouble falling alseep at night...that's so hard!

I hope you're doing well! I'm sending you love from the USA!!

Lauren :)

[harveysmummy]

Lauren, that must have been scarey for you hun, but you are not silly at all, I am having problems at the mo with vertigo, have had it almost a week now and each time I 'spin' I get so scared!

MS Sucks, I pray all the time that there will be a cure for us not too far away

I am thinking of you, I have sent you a message on FB too!

much love hun xxxxxxxxxx

[ezechicano]

at least I am not the only one, not that it is a good thing but I can relate...my case is a little different, I really enjoy working out and so I recently bought products from GNC which has caused me a constant upset stomach which after a period of time had caused my symptoms to reappear, luckly they were able to get under control before they got any worse =) ... guess my workout has to be the old fashion way.... lol changing the topic hopefully you were able to read the email i sent you =D

[laurenvparrott]

I love working out too - I'm sorry that the GNC products caused a constant upset stomach, and then caused symptoms to reappear. I'm so glad they're under control now!

I replied to your email! Thanks for writing!

[amandamht]

Laura, glad to see your brillian smile and great spirit. My prayers is always there for you.

[laurenvparrott]

Thank you so much! I'll keep you in my prayers as well!

[alyms79]

Im glad it turned out ok!!

We learn the hard way huh?!

I have done the same exact thing this last week.

We are getting ready for the paranormal tv seirse Im going to help produce,and I havent got to bed till 1:00 am. Then the next day Im like my head is in the clouds.

Today Im in the clouds,tripping over everything,spacey I guess. I have been helping a friend move her office,and today is the last day of moving,and I feel like my head is in the clouds!

Glad everything is ok!

aly

[laurenvparrott]

Hi Aly! Oh my gosh it sure sounds like you have your hands full! I wish you the best with everything!!

I think it's awesome that you're going to help produce the paranormal tv series!! Good luck!

Take care :)

[tonywilde1234]

Hi Lauren, lovely to see your sweet smile, as ever brightens my day :). As we have agreed many, many times all of us "MS'ers" are different; when i'm feeling ill rest does nothing for me, i am always the same when i wake up, even after 12+ hours :/ I'm glad it works for you though. Hope you are keeping well and heres hoping spring gets here soon. Much love,

Your Friend Tony xxx

(p.s. add me to your facebook 'youtube friends' album :D)

[laurenvparrott]

Hi Tony! Wow, isn't it amazing how different we all are? I hope spring comes soon too :) I hope you are well!

Much love!!

(I will definitely add you to my album! Can you send me another picture? Thanks!!)

[Conching]

absolutely true; i do several rest periods but still i feel my battery not fully loaded. and as always it is my head that i feel as if i'm drunk.

your smile helps my brighte my day. thanks for sharing & hope you have more good days.

[laurenvparrott]

Thank you so much! I hope you have more good days as well!

[irishbear76]

Sleep is SO important in managing my MS.

I NEED 8 hours no matter what.

I also sleep with the head of my bed elevated.

I have noticed HUGE improvements (Lends credibility to the venous drainage thing doesn't it?)

Anyway.

Good common sense video. Thank you for sharing some of the simpler things we can do to feel better.

Your smile brightened my day too :)

Mark

[laurenvparrott]

Hi Mark! Getting enough sleep is so important! Yes, that definitely lends credibility to the venous drainage problem. Thank you so much for your comment! You are so sweet :)

[jamie7777700]

so hot!

[laurenvparrott]

So sweet!

[angelusa73]

I completely agree with you, Lauren but I am pretty bad at taking rests...I actually never do!!!! I am so excited about things and I am grateful that I am able to move and to do many things and someone have to force me to take a rest! I completely understand what you are saying and it is a great advice...now, can someone come and force me to rest?!!! :)

Just joking...I love watching your videos because you bring sun into my house even when it's grey and dark outside!!!

Un enorme abbraccio

[laurenvparrott]

Hi Angela!! I am so much like you! I feel the same about you - I'm so glad we're friends!!

Tanti baci!

[gphx]

When I'm blue I go to Youtube and watch puppies, kittens, or Lauren. She's a 100 lb. bag of sugar that just makes people smile. Thanks.

[laurenvparrott]

Oh my gosh you are so sweet! You made my day! Thank you so much :)

[Prissie28]

I'm not good at resting. And the little energy I have, I spend, because I get overexcited about having some. So I'm slowly learning to rest and stay in balance. It's superimportant no matter if you have MS or not.

Hugs, Astrid

[laurenvparrott]

Hi Astrid!

I'm the same way - I'm not good at resting either, but you're right. It is so important!!

Take care! :)

[ppsf1958nr]

Hi lauren you look so well you brighten up my day x :)

[laurenvparrott]

You are so sweet! Thank you!!

xoxo :)

[ppsf1958nr]

Oh no thank you x :)

[cjhoyerny]

We all want to be normal and do whatever every now and then. But self care is the most important thing! Love your videos keep going strong. Angel

[laurenvparrott]

Hi Angel! You are so right! I hope you are well!

[Xynne]

Glad you're feeling better :)

[laurenvparrott]

Thank you so much!

[vbeachy]

Yep...rest is key. :) Take care Lauren.

[laurenvparrott]

Hi Vern! Thanks! I hope you are well!

[blinggroup]

I've had the same experience my friend! Rest is key (when your body asks for it and NEEDS it) Stay blessed and HEALTHY girl!

Peace Through Music™

[laurenvparrott]

Yes! My body definitely lets me know when I need rest!! I hope you are well!

xoxo

[medad1]

Hey Lauren. Glad to see you this morning (Thursday) .....

You know something? My neurologist told me - on my first visit - that the best treatment for MS patient is to get a lot of rest this means sleeping early..NOT stay & wait for Olympics ha ha ha ha ;) don't loose your health and till some body to record it for you honey :)

Take care of your self dear friend :)

Mody :)

[laurenvparrott]

Hey Mody! I know what you mean! hahah...it's a simple concept isn't it? I'm getting more rest now :)

Great to hear from you!

Lots of love,

Lauren

[nightgangl7]

hey lauren i have a question for you . does your face ever get really hot and red ? i been having that problem for awhile now and i hate it ! take care hun

[laurenvparrott]

The only times my face gets hot and red are when I'm working out or I've had some alcohol...it's funny I know, but it's true! I wish I could be more helpful - I can imagine that that would be frutrating.

I hope you have a great weekend!

[dmplaura]

I'm very much like that Lauren, and I never learn my lesson. No matter how many times I do the 5 hour sleep go to work and get a dreadful headache and pains, I never learn!

I completely agree, our sleep is much more important than we realize until we have a chronic condition that reminds us in unique ways that we need that sleep!

Take care and get lots of rest xoxo! :)

[laurenvparrott]

Hey Laura! I'm so much like you! Hopefully I'll learn one day.

I hope you have a great weekend!

xoxoxo

[MegF142857]

Agree... record things and watch later and on your own time. Having things to watch saved up for when you need to rest is a good thing too. -- You definitely were overdoing.

Thanks for sharing this advice.

[laurenvparrott]

Yes I agree - I was overdoing it. Thanks for your comment!

[zekest]

Olympics are only every 4 years so watch and enjoy!

[laurenvparrott]

That's what I was thinking initially!

[MaRiSa22Bunny]

r u and your bf still dating?? have u talked marriage??

[laurenvparrott]

We have talked marriage but I'm not ready yet!

[MaRiSa22Bunny]

sooooo glADto hear u r ok and just needed rest--- now go to bed lol jk..

[laurenvparrott]

Thank you so much!! I have been getting more sleep!
