Hi Lauren! I first discovered your channel 2 years ago when I was diagnosed with MS in August of 2018. Your story and your strength are incredibly inspiring to me. And your resilience truly is unmatched. I’m so happy and so excited to see you’ve posted another video, because your positivity and optimism are so refreshing- especially during this pandemic! I definitely see and feel the similarities between MS and the pandemic. It really is so interesting. Thank you for making a video that talks about something that I have been thinking and feeling for quite some time now. I hope you are doing well, staying safe & enjoying spending time with your dogs!! I’ve been staying home since I am furloughed from my full time job, so I’ve been spending a ton of time with my cat- which has been nice! 😊 It’s also been nice to spend time doing things that I enjoy that I don’t usually have time for, like reading! And decorating! I’ve hung up curtains and some wall decor, and I’m so happy with how it looks. I really hope you’re doing well and looking forward to your next video!! 😊🧡

Hi Lauren! I guess the Ocrevus is agreeing with you. You look really great! I’ve had MS for 30 years and am also on Ocrevus. I am mobile with no assistance these days. As you said these are hard times for everyone. Thank you for spreading love, positivity and understanding. You have a bright light inside of you that is truly SPECIAL! Wishing you the best, love 💗 from NewJersey, Jessica

Hi Lauren - 20yrs, you're doing great! 28yrs. for me. I'm still walking, so not everyone ends up in a chair. Love your videos, been watching them for years. Would love to meet you in person one day, I'm only a 3 hour drive away in Ohio. Take care ~ Joe

I think studied show that most people with MS don’t end up in a wheelchair. I wish they would tell you that during diagnosis. Honestly I would trade my walking for fatigue if I could. Sometimes the invisible disabilities are the worst

I was diagnosed 13 years ago with MS. I took the Betaseron injections for about the first 8 months, and then slowly came off of them. I went with my gut, that the neurologist that drove the $100k sports car, was taking kickbacks for pushing the meds on people with MS like symptoms. "Just incase they have it." The symptoms were gone after the first month, and the only symptoms I had after that were the horrible ones from the medication side effects. I never had a 2nd opinion. My job requires me to be stressed a lot, physically exerting my body, and in the brutal July heat. Symptom free 12 years! I hope people that get rushed through the MS protocol get a 2nd and 3rd opinion over the course of a year. Many have lyme disease.

Let me take it a step further. MS is a symptom, the creation of plaques in the brain. EVERYThING is connect with some chronic infection. Borrelia, Bartonella, Babesia etc... Please get checked. If someone told you that you have chronic fever (which is a symptom exactly like ms) you would search for a reason why you have this fever. Please get checked or worst case, try a 1 month Lyme protocol with a combination of antibiotics. Please...

@@apostolaras23 I haven't had a problem since. I don't have Lyme either. I've just heard stories from people that I know that have Lyme that they were originally being told MS, until further investigation. I take colloidal silver, Manuka Honey, and Black Seed Oil everyday in small doses, and it has done wonders for my immune system, inflammation, allergies, and healing.

@@ChucknMcNuggets I agree, you dont have Lyme disease. But Borrelia, the pathogen, well that you could have. That pathogen is directly linked with: MS, Alzheimers, Parkinsons, CFS, Fibromyalgia, Arthritis of all types. By the way, all these diseases are just symptoms, manifestations of brain or cartilage damage. Thats why everyone with such a diagnosis should look for the pathogen that is causing it.
