I start ocrevus soon I’m nervous but also excited, I’m glad your having luck with it Lauren 🙂

Continued prayers for you, young lady. I’ve followed your journey. Stay positive and keep posting. You have helped me in dealing and understanding more about MS. Thank you

You're MRI will be unchanged, I'm willing to bet. I've got 9yrs of MRI history while on Tysabri, and one MRI after changing to Ocrevus. They all look the same, no progression. I've noticed I feel more "certain" when walking now I'm on Ocrevus. Yesterday, my wife an I hiked down a rather steep trail to the bottom of Snoqualmie Falls, which was the easy part. Hiking back up everyone on the trail, except 6yr old kids, where pacing themselves and struggling. I made up fine, no falls, not overly tired or sore the next day. Working against me is my lack of daily exercise. I really have no excuse there, as we do have a working elliptical exerciser. I do have a large field of grass to mow, which is exercise enough, I think. :)

I'm GLAD you're feeling great! You are really starting to change now. I do not have the Ocrevus. I have autism! I don't enjoy the heat either...there's gross water that comes out of your skin. It's called sweat. Well, it's horrible. I prefer cold weather. How about you?

Great to here you are doing so well. Look forward to your next video. Try to stay cool and have a good summer.

Hi Lauren! I will hopefully be starting Ocrevus soon!! Glad you are happy!

@LaurenParrott I'm glad you're improving! Blessings!

Hi Lauren! Thank you for sharing. I’ll be starting Ocrevus soon so it’s good to hear another person‘s experience and find out how you’re doing.😊

I'm so glad to hear you're feeling well on Ocrevus with improved symptoms. I also suffer with heat sensitivity and I have the feeling that it can't really be helped until scientists find a way to repair myelin. It's a great shame though as it does affect a lot of us for a decent period of time each year. We have winter in Australia at the moment and I'm enjoying the cool weather and not sweating all the time! I'm pleased to say that I had my yearly MRI in May and it showed no new lesions, I'd also had no relapses in that time. It's wonderful to be in a part of the MS journey where things are stable! Wishing you all the best with your MRI, Lauren. xx

Its great to see you so glad lauren. I'm so happy that you are so happy with ocrevus. At the moment I'm doing my driver licence and i'm very happy about it. Sometimes it is hard but i do my best to learn it. I wish you the best lauren 😘

God bless you and stay strong, and thank you!

happy for you ❤️ ocrevus helping you

So glad you’re feeling great! Hopefully even more infusions will bring even more relief from more symptoms. 😊

On Ocrevus as well and found improvement with my symptoms, including dealing with heat & humidity following my 2nd full infusion. Best of luck!

Lauren, good to hear from you again. I know it's easier said then done, but hang in there! You're young, you're strong, you have the right attitude and you have a whole bunch of good people that care about you and are watching over you! Easy on the spirits though...

Great to see that smiling face again Lauren. Happy to hear you are doing well...enjoy your Summer and and hopefully stay cool...heat intolerance sucks😓

I am starting with this medicine soon. Thank you for every video 🥰

Hi Lauren - Look at you gorgeous girl, so glad it is working for you. It is doing it's thing for me as well. I am waiting on an MRI too. I just had my 1st full dose and all is good. Lets just hope the more infusions we have the better we feel each time. Keep well and keep smiling Wendy x

Yay Lauren! Glad it's working for you. :) You look and sound great. Good luck with the MRI. If you feel like you're doing better, I can almost guarantee that the MRI results will show this. Yes, alcohol can be tough with MS. Just one drink effects my speech/balance like having six. I too had my nephews wedding to attend down in N. Carolina just two weeks ago. Bladder issues made it tough. Took some planning/discipline on my part, but I managed. Good luck, can't wait for your next video!

YAY! :) I'm so excited for you. I haven't seen a change in my self, which is actually good enough for me. I just didn't want to get worse. Heat is the worst still for me too.

My MS doctor recently had me start Ampyra off-label for heat tolerance. It’s normally given for walking/gait assistance, but they told me that for some reason that they are not certain of, it is helping patients tolerate heat. And it really works. Just something to perhaps discuss with your doctor. Thank you for sharing your story, I just had my first infusion of ocrevus myself! (I’m in Dallas, btw, and it’s been a long, hot summer)

Just started I love it so far! Love your video 😁 ❤️💞

So glad for you Lauren . Tecfidera has kept me fairly stable .

Thanks Lauren. That's a great perspective to have. Any reduction in effects is a bonus, indeed. Looking forward to the results from my last MRI, just completed my first year on natalizumab. More mature? 30, tops! Take care.

I like that you're always smiling in your videos; it's really inspirational. I wanted to ask how does Ocrevus feel like? Is it better than tysabri? anways continue making videos. I find them really helpful!

Thank you ❤️

God bless you lauren

Lauren I’m just wondering how you’re doing today. I wanted to check in with you because I’m getting ready to start my treatment Thursday, August 9. I hope you’re doing great with continued success.

Great to hear it’s working great

Hi Lauren, I’d also had ms pretty much as long as you. I only want to say enjoy the very best of your life, don’t stop drinking if that makes you happy of course with moderation. My symptoms aren’t too bad right now I tried alternative medicine for a good while now I’m giving a try to aubagio but I get my good days I enjoy and have some drinks once in a while with my friends and have an amazing time and I don’t think I offended God in any shape or form, my advice is enjoy the very best. And keep fighting the good fight. Btw try earthing that really made a huge difference for me, as a fellow MSR please give earthing a try.

She's so sweet

Going in for the second part of my first infusion and waiting to see if something positive shows up on the MRI after seeing new lesions following no treatment... btw you should really model

I get my first infusion in 2wks I'm hoping to smile as you are 👊#warrior

Thank u

I use to drink a lot & smoke thank god I was able to quit both been three years now best for people with MS avoid smoking & alcohol & make sure you are taking a DMT

Hay Lauren you really look great 👍 congratulations honey & wish you the best 🌷🌷🌷

On September 17 is a day i won't forget. I got my 1rst Ocrevus infusion on that day

Hi Lauren I want to let you know that I had my first infusion a week ago and I did great. I didn’t have any side effects during the infusion. However today I’ve had a heaviness in both legs and it’s been really difficult to move and walk. Has anyone else experienced this.? I hope you’re doing well thanks.

Hi! Have you tried a cooling vest? The MS Society provides them for free 😊

How often are the infusions, Lauren? Once a month?

HSCT reboots your system. No longer required to stay in inside.

I learned the alcohol lesson really hard. I noticed my hangovers got way worse and then I noticed I would just go straight from sober to sick, I couldn't get to that fun, silly stupid drunk mindset nor could I even get buzzed. So the last couple of years I put a 2 drink limit on myself and I've stuck to it like 99% of the time and I think It's been close to a year since I've had a single drink. It's just so not worth it and with all the medicines we are on It's even more of a mess.

HI Lauren, so this is after the first 2 halves?

I started it last month. It hasn’t been good to me so far. My walking is worse now than ever. Maybe it’s just me? Copaxone put me in ICU for two days last year. I’m special I guess.

Hi Lauren, hope you're feeling well. Have you had your MRI's yet? Did you say you're getting one MRI or multiples, w & w/o contrast?

Have you heard of HSCT?

Hi, I am 34 , I have MS and the issue with handling heat poorly. I have heard of a Japaneses produce that helps you stay cool. There is a gel and foam, I have not found a place where I can order it online, but if anyone finds a place, or if I do, please share it. They are called Cool Foam, and Ice Spark Cooling Gel.

You shouldn't drink at all! I don't. We have more than enough problems with MS.already.

Also, I was wondering what medication you use to help with tremors?

Have you considered or tried CBD oil, or marijuana?

Why is slowing down acceptable? Why not stop it? HSCT.

You are very Lucky you maKe infusion with ocrevus i, m not ocrevus i need ocrevus în România i hope give ME my dr my ocrevus many patient like with ME maybe bless you i have a treatment with seizure rivotril and gabaran but is not for ms pp
