Glad to find you and lovely to see the difference from 2007 to now. I have recently been diagnosed, am now on tysabri and my mantra is 'just keep swimming,' We can keep going and we can do it together!

I've finished 3 years of Tysabri and I'll see my Neurologist within 3 weeks … I think he may switch me to a new drug ..(Gileny I guess) hope it's OK :)

Oh and I checked...if you're in Canada you can't register!! We have the "Tysabri Care Program" here instead of "Touch". When I first started in 2009, I really pushed Biogen for a patient access online site like you had in the US! We finally got that but nothing like you have. Oh well. Now I'm going to push for "msactivesource" here-the American site looks fantastic!

[laurenvparrott]

@CANSANDY2 Oh wow, I really hope you can do that in Canada! It's an incredibly helpful website!! I wish you a lot of luck!!

[jzwatts]

So,my friend tells me my old best friend has MS. He's not telling me...Oddly enough I researched and found some girls you tube with ms and seen yours again. I do believe I wrote you 3 years ago asking about myself? Anyways I've been sucked into these life story videos. Very encouraging. I'm very reckless with my life and to see people fighting for the things I take for granted. It is very humbling. If possible can we chat email? Hope all is well;)

[laurenvparrott]

@jzwatts I'm so glad you find these videos from people on YouTube to be humbling and encouraging! Honestly, right now, the best way to reach me is through YouTube. Please feel free to write anytime!

Wishing you the best!

Lauren

[laurenvparrott]

@CANSANDY2 Thank you! I hope you're enjoying 2012 so far! I know I can't believe it...4 1/2 years!

[MSVlogSupport]

Hi Lauren, so glad to hear that your doing so well. I am new to Tysarbi, going for #7 next week. I find the people with the Touch program to be very helpful and the website is a good one. Happy New year to you too!

Andrea

[laurenvparrott]

[MsMezzaa]

Hey again Lauren,

I have always watched your videos - very informative and REAL. THank you for sharing your experiences with us all.

I just watched one of your 2007 clips and I must say, whatever you are doing, keep doing it!! You look 2000x healthier, your speech is flawless, you're not exhibiting any tremors that I can see.. you look fantastic, girl!!

[laurenvparrott]

@MsMezzaa Thank you!!! I'm trying my very best! Happy New Year!!

[TrinnyandSkye]

Hi Lauren, I've watched you through so many phases of of your life through your videos. I've cried with you when you are sad and I've certainly smiled with you so many many times. I am just so happy that you are doing so well. Thank you for making your videos and gracing all of us with your spirit. Happy New Year, may this be the best one of ever!

Joy

[laurenvparrott]

@TrinnyandSkye Hi Joy! Thank you so very much!! That means a lot to me!! I hope you are doing well!!

[laurenvparrott]

@Coping101 Oh my gosh, thank you sooo much!!

[MsMezzaa]

congratulations on the report =]

just a question, I don't want this to sound rude - however, are you paid to endorse pharma?

[laurenvparrott]

@MsMezzaa Thank you! No that's not rude...haha I WISH I got paid! Do you want to put in a good word for me?? No really, I talk about everything that works for me (ex. Tysabri, Provigil, Nuedexta) with the hopes that other MS patients become aware of medications that could possibly help them too. I hope you're doing well!

[Richie979]

I was wondering about that question too? I'm interested in tysabri still? They sound like a good company to talk too? thanx lauren

[jessemac13]

YOUR A BEAUTIFUL PERSON IN N OUT .

[laurenvparrott]

@jessemac13 Thank you so very much!

[whyworryabout2moro]

Not sure if I agree that Biogen care!!! They are a business and not a charity...the more punters the more successful they are...... I am pleased Tysabri has worked for you though....any drugs that help us I am grateful for. I am still hoping for the cure though.....once a company comes up with that then I will be truly grateful!!

[chcknutsck]

@whyworryabout2moro Avonex is so awesome that it went up like 2 grand in price over the last 13 years.

[whyworryabout2moro]

@chcknutsck Hey Chck not sure what you mean?? Are you saying the Pharmas overcharge? (If so I agree) Luckily the NHS helps us over in the UK.......

[laurenvparrott]

@whyworryabout2moro I can understand your point - I'm not naive - however, I have wonderful relationships with employees at the company who are incredibly supportive. They could only care about making money, but they don't. And I'm so happy that Tysabri is working for me and so many others. I look forward to a cure as well! I wish you the best!

[FendyRhodes]
