This event in her life influenced her to become a poet. Lambeth has shared her personal story on the National MS Society Website, where she discusses her disease and its influence on her poetry: "I was diagnosed at the age of 17, so MS has defined much of my adult life. I consider what goes on in my body an important factor of who I am; we are intricately linked, MS and me" .〔http://www.nationalmssociety.org/online-community/personal-stories/laurie-clements-lambeth/index.aspx〕 One of her symptoms from her disease is numbness. She explains that "living with numbness opened my perception of what is me and what is outside of me".〔http://www.nationalmssociety.org/online-community/personal-stories/laurie-clements-lambeth/index.aspx〕 Lambeth has said that she probably would not have pursued poetry without having been diagnosed with MS and experiencing the different symptoms that has opened her eyes to herself. She writes poetry that looks into the individual body’s form within the context of the world.
