damn, you are such a cheerful energetic person... kudos to you.

Hi Lauren, I just found your clips here today. My name's Erik, I just turned 34 and I've got MS since 21 years and the JC-virus turned positive 3 years ago cause of Tysabri and since then I'm on Gylenia now... I've got a Drop Foot Assistance to since 2 years... hope you'll stay fit and positive as you are best greetings erik

wonderful news Lauren , so glad your feeling better .

You are an inspiration Lauren

Can you please make a video showing us how you walk with them, it'll be very helpful! ;-)

Hi love, I'm happy to see you so well!! I Haven't seen your videos recently. My niece, who I told you about Before, started the Tresabi (sp?) She is 24, had a flare really bad was in hospital for a week til she was stable. now she is using a walker when it's bad and starting to do better with all of it along with the medicine. I have told her about your videos for year's & Now she's gonna start watching 😊 Take care much love & prayers to you🙏 ❤️Blessings

Hi Lauren. Thanks for telling us about your discovery. I can see how happy and excited it makes you. Your enthusiasm is contagious and makes me smile. So I did something not so smart. I posted a long note to you on your last video, got shy about it and quickly deleted it. I thought about it and decided there was nothing to be shy about and reposted. I think because of the length and the post-delete-post that it got caught up in a spam filter from KZfaq because I can’t see it there now. I’m going to try again here and hopefully you’ll see it because I’m so interested in your thoughts. If it doesn’t work a second time I guess it wasn’t meant to be. I’m glad you decided to share your journey with us all. 💕

Hi Lauren, thank you so much for sharing your information about foot drop. I have exactly the same problems in walking as you do. My left leg is weaker and feels heavier and more difficult to bend. I also got diagnosed at 18 too. I am so excited to try the orthotic insert and the ossur foot up!

Thanks for your news Lauren. I laughed out when you said you don't care about the tennis shoes - I might do the same and just tell my boss I have MS. Foot drop is how I discovered my MS also. I could no longer lift my foot off the throttle when driving and had to lift my whole leg. I had to plan a long way ahead to slow down! The inserts are an interesting idea. Great to see you, keep it up, you are very very helpful and encouraging to us. Cheers.

I just ordered the brace! I sure hope it helps. Thank you for the advice

Happy first day of fall. I wish I lived in Arizona I am opposite with heat/cold. Congratulations and good job on your video :-) Christine

You are really impressive person. Positive thinking, happiness, life energy and of course a beautiful lady. God put very special feelings inside of your heart which is mostly not available other humans. Peoples loves you Laureen. Stay strong and share with us your positive energy and smiley face.

thank you lauren!!!

Hi. Nope. I reposted and it’s still not here. Maybe it’s just too long. Oh well.. I’ll keep watching and wishing you the best. 💕

Glad you are going to walk normally. Ernie!! There's a Sesame street character named Ernie. He has a rubber duckie!!

I have drop foot and wear the Allard Toe Off 2.0 I would love something smaller. I think I will contact your orthotist to see if he can point me in the right direction here in Boston, as I need to find a new orthotist. Thanks for the video(s)!

Hi Lauren Great advice! Here's what I do: I buy the cheapest possible tennis shoes from Wal-Mart $10 They last me about a year, lol.There is a person in the support group I run that uses the brace you mention. I'm thinking about getting one myself...I don't call it drop foot instead I call it toe drag, because that's what happens. And it's also my left leg The neurologist says it's actually in my hip. And I also used to run! I have done several 5k's and 10k's.Take care! Joe

Hi Lauren, nice to see you. I was watching your movies 10 years ago. I worked for Elan and I was interested about influence of tysabri for people with SM. I was thinking today about people with SM and I remind myself your name Lauren. All the best. All is in God's hands.

Lauren how are you? Happy New year

Hi Lauren; Happy New Year! I hope all is well with you. I was wondering how Ocrevus was going. I just started October last year (my first treatment protocol ever even though I was diagnosed 20 years ago). I know you haven’t been on that long but I think you have a couple courses under your belt. How’s it treating you? Are you feeling well? I hope so. Nicki 🙋🏻‍♀️

hi Lauren. Its been almost a week since my first ocrevus treatment. Had a bad reaction during the treatment and a week later still feel like a truck hit me. But, I just happened to come upon your video and wanted to say it put a smile on my face. Thank you. btw, are you married. if not I'm available. :)

hi you probably don't remember me but i was the one that asked about tysabri and how it was will long story short i find out the i am JC positive and i had to go on ocrevus and i to have a problem with my walking because of my ataxia but i am soo happy that you are doing good

Your amazing

That’s great it would’ve been very helpful if you lay down that information on your site there so people could read where to go for this and thought it Talbot for draft it would help so many much if you would label the information below

You are such a beautiful person. I have drop foot too and it sucks :(

Lauren, how many Tysabri infusions have you had my 35th I am JCV negative for now.

Hi Lauren. I hope you’re doing well. I was wondering if you would ever consider doing a video about you, as a person. I appreciate all your informational stuff on MS but I would be interested to know how you live your life. Do you have your own house, what job do you do? Have you ever tried the keto diet?... stuff like that. I’m also curious about how your family is dealing with your MS. Mine is just learning about my MS and I’m not quite sure how to talk with them about it in a way that would make them feel comfortable. I was also thinking that maybe your family would like to make an appearance on your vlog and talk about how they feel about your MS. I’m just curious how you handle day-to-day life. What do you think?I personally don’t know anyone else with MS and I like your videos so much I was hoping that maybe you can shed some light on this topic.

Lauren don’t people see the brace? How can you hide it if you wear a dress or leggings?

Do you wear it with a dress or is it something you keep for when it’s absolutely necessary? I’m guessing you mean like work trousers where you can’t see it? But you would see it with leggings right? I don’t have this issue but if I ever did that would be what keeps me from using it :(

Hey Lauren - After my neurologist appointment last week I am looking into foot help as well. I have invested in a treadmill and am finding it great in letting me know when I need to lift the left leg, but I think It is time to make walking easier. Here in Australia we are in spring and I am dreading the summer heat. I am missing the "Boost" i used to get from tysabri but Ocrevus must be doing something as I have no new or active lesions at the moment. At least I have a brain haha. Keep smiling beautiful girl Wendy x

Magnesium - I cured left foot drop with supplementation , when I run out I cannot lift my foot, when I take it I can stand and bear my full body weight on that sides heel (impossible before) I've had a poor diet over the years little or no vegetables - whilst it's not the same for everybody I thought I'd share

Can you walk up steep stairs?

I wear sneakers too, who cares? I found out people would much rather see a guy in a tie and slacks sporting sneakers than a guy on the floor...

Same here but its my right foot and I have weakness to

You are gorgeous

FOOT DROP GETS WORSE AS U AGE,,,,
