merry Christmas and happy birthday and happy new Year...sorry for being so late in coming to see you and wish you my best wishes for the wishes and for showing that I am thinking of you...good luck, Lauren, and keep on fighting...don't ever give up, which I am sure that you won't do...I know it's hard because I am living with two aweful diseases instead of having one, but we are very strong, all of us are...and we will me it all...take good care and continue pushing through. Angela

You are so strong Lauren. I wish I could feel that way. I am still waiting for my first appointment for my MS scan. I wish you the best inlife and you are a great lady.

Hi Lauren! This video reminded my me of what brought on my first MS attack in 1984? and it was the death of my father and subsequent trauma's on the road to rock stardom?? Thank God I gave it up? I was lucky!. I hate to see you so sad and I feel your sorrow. We've lived similar episodes in our lives and that gives us a unique perspective? Anyway, onward I think!!!!!? Love to all your Lot over there from Our lot over here. Richie.X.

@laurenvparrott i hope you had a BUON NATALE too. Mine was ok, but I am always pushing myself to live nowdays, after what happened because I am not improving as well as after an MS relapse. PML i a lot more serious than a relapse and it requires a lot more time and patience to improve and get better, so I am working hard, while pushing and doing as much as I can..best wishes to you and your family, so TANTI AUGUTI A tutti ( best wishes to all ) Here, I gave you a couple of new words to work on!

I was diagnosed by an MRI. I never had a spinal tap done, my doctor wanted me to have a spinal tap done but my neurologist after looking at my MRI said it wouldn't be necessary. I heard a spinal tap is painful, is it. I like watching your videos, you are always smiling and so positive. Take care

@laurenvparrott you are so cool and so sweet :) it was worth checking him out right? he is si[per cute, hot and his music always comr from the heart...he writes his own songs that come from fewling lonely and sad...exactly wat I feel too...thank you for being a part of this and for sharing Tiziano with me...i don't mind doin it with someone as nice as you :) I am on my way to meet my new neurologist..let's see how she is...have a wonderful day! tanti baci tutti per te ciao, Angela

@laurenvparrott it went very well, grazie, Lauren. She is not against natural ways to help the body and this is what matter the most for me at the moment especially becau I don't believe in drugs, especially after what happened to me. It gets me every day when I think that I paid money to get PML...It sounds crazy but this is the truth...the MS was not as bad as the PML which was caused as you know, by Tysabri, so I would like to stay away from drugs for a while.have a nice day, cara amica:)

You pretty much described my life. I was brushed off by many Dr''s due to my age by "Fibromylagia" Which is AWFUL i have had flare ups and fall (Have for 6 yrs) so Part of me is angry that it went so long ignored. I am just now getting this looked at. I am so scared

Hi, Lauren i got diagnose also threw an MRI and a spinal tap. 2 months after i started i got custody power of attorney of my dad like i said before but we have a bit in comment after My dad passed away: ( there after i started getting real,,real. sick, am a daddy's girl

@laurenvparrott I usually lidsten to italian music ( musica italiana ) -check Tiziano Ferro on google...you will find him super cute and very handsome and I ca assure you that he is an awesome singer too :) his music helps me a lot and, for pain and to deal with my many stmptoms, I use cranial sacral therapy evert time I need it...and now I am going to a nutritionist/ neurologist that has MS himself and that his helping me take the right vitamins and eat the right foods. I am tired of drugs!

Hi Lauren, I have been prediagnosed with MS. I am awaiting my MRI. I am 24 years old and have been dealing with these symptoms for over 16 years and they have gotten progressively worse. I have episodes of facial paralysis, arm numbness, I lose my vision and my ability to speak or understand what others are saying to me. I have severe confusion, nausea, and trouble walking with these episodes. Does a spinal tap hurt really bad? That will probably be my next test once I have my MRI. Thank you!
