@ ninamyhua & every one, at my work place when people used to treat me like a baby & offer to help me; i would get mad at them, insult them, yell at them (i dont need any help alright) then every 1 decided no one would ever help me. & im doing fine on my own.i cant afford any medication but i do a lot of exercises holding the wall,chair,table or any thing & its helpfull. Dosent matter how many times i fall i still walk.& remember (when going gets tough,the tough get going.)

[laurenvparrott]

@sherokpazoor You are so right - I couldn't agree more! I wish you the best with everything!

[theatregirlz]

can i email you

i have some symptoms and now some questions about MS

[Alexknobsob]

The latest is that the neuro tells me that I am beyond Tysabari, or anything else.  I never took any medicine apart from one Pednisol infusion.

I was in the same state for years when I was working with MS in the orchestra. So It will be interesting to see how you stabilise.

[laurenvparrott]

Well I hope you find something that works for you. I just take it one day at a time.

[Alexknobsob]

Thanks.

[Rosieglo81]

[laurenvparrott]

Thank you! I know isn't it great? I bought it in St. Louis. Wash U is an awesome school!!

[sans15]

Sure, love is just another four letter word ... and yet... it can do so much.

[laurenvparrott]

It sure can!

[laurenvparrott]

Aww, thank you!

[sans15]

[jwasko777]

Praise God - the shirt? are you in Washington?

[laurenvparrott]

Yeah I know!! No, that's where my brother went to college - Washington University in St. Louis. I'm in Michigan!

[dmplaura]

Driving is overrated! I've never had my licence, and certainly won't be getting it now LOL!

[laurenvparrott]

I know! I was just talking about how I really hate driving - especially now!

[meggiemeg86]

I totally agree. Driving is waaaaaayyyy overrated. Not to mention, it's bad for the environment. Don't drive if you don't have to.

[jwasko777]

I will not drive either.

I need some help, I take no injections, doctors have no idea - I want you to know that people watch you, and for that moment in life, it makes us feel not alone.

[laurenvparrott]

Thank you so much!! That's what I'm trying to do!! Good luck and please email me if you have any questions!

[laurenvparrott]

Thank you so much!! That's what I'm trying to do!! Good luck and please email me if you have any questions!

Hi Lauren! Its me Theresa, well I have been a little under the weather in the hospital for 4 days.. the infection brought on a flair up but I'm home now finishing up the last 2 days of solumedrol treatment with home health care. I then have to wait 2 weeks before my infusion of tysabri which will be my fourth one. My MRI showed one active lesion however I had so many that were healing so that is such good news and I am still walking FINE so doing better hope all is well with you HUGS Theresa

[laurenvparrott]

Hi Theresa! I'm sorry you had to go into the hospital. But I'm very happy that you have so many healing lesions! It's even better that you're walking fine! I wish you the best!

[violetmathersss]

How is your new job going? I'm sure well :) I just got back from my 3 month Tysabri Dr visit we have to drive 60 miles where they view your last MRI and

check your blood work.. and good news all is well :) so I'm set for my 4th tysabri infusion on the 29th of this month.I'm feeling really well not sure if it's a plasibo effect or the real thing but I sure feel great.I mentioned to my Dr about my sandy feeling hands and she increased my neurontin so should help ... HUGSSSSSS Theresa

[laurenvparrott]

Hi Theresa! The job is great! Everyone is really nice and I feel very comfortable there!

I'm sooo glad that everything went well at your appointment! That must make you feel good! Hopefully the increase in your neurontin will help with the sandy feeling! Good luck on the 29th - I'll be thinking about you!

Hugs and kisses,

Lauren :)

[violetmathersss]

Lauren, you are so sweet! sorry that you have the "monster" too. However we are so lucky because I know lots of older Ms'ers that did not have Tysabri as a choice of treatment. Glad you are doing so well HUGS Theresa

[laurenvparrott]

Hi Theresa! I'm not currently going to physical therapy or exercise classes but I do my own exercise and stretching every day. I feel very fortunate to be on Tysabri and I'm so thankful to be feeling the way I do!

I wish you the best!

xoxo

Hi Lauren,

I think its great to be an advocate for tysabri, your so bubbly, smiley and happpy, a real inspiration to the rest of us.

I get my 2nd infusion on Monday (Feb 18th) and im really looking forward to it. Every video you post you just keep looking better and i hope i have the same success you have had.

I cant understand why you are so happy about talking, i ABSOLUTLEY hate talking in public or giving speaches LOL. Anyway, Its good to hear about the job etc so GOOD LUCK from Scotland

[laurenvparrott]

Hey Jamie! Thank you, I can't wait to start giving speeches! I know, I think talking in public is one of the biggest fears people have but I love it!! I really hope Tysabri works for you! You're in my prayers - please let me know how your 2nd infusion goes!

Hope to hear from you soon,

Lauren

[paulo1149]
