I'm so proud of you for making this video. Being vulnerable isn't always easy. God bless you honey ❤

[deborahm]

Oh Wow 😮 you’re transparency is fantastic. It’s such a blessing to get to know you better.

Thank you so much for being so open about your tourette's syndrome! So many artists would rather hide their illnesses and disorders rather than telling people about them. And not only just telling us about your tourettes, but you also showed us your tics! My sister has tourettes, and I have an unspecific tic disorder caused by my lyme disease. Most of my tics are facial tics, so I'll blink a lot, the corner of my mouth will pull upwards, and my eyebrows will go upwards. I used to have a really bad tic where my head would jerk to the side repeatedly for hours on at a time (they almost always landed me in the ER because they hurt really bad and they wouldn't stop), but that tic thankfully went away about 2 years ago.

Love you so much, Jamie Grace!

Hey there Jamie! I have Tourettes, and I'm 38 years old. I have been on meds all my life, and I am healthy in general, but due to years and years of neck tics and joint popping I now have degenerative arthritis in my neck, I see a psychiatrist who is treating me for OCD and my TS. My tics were so bad, I now get disability. My back and hips and neck are in terrible shape! I kind of walk with a limp. I do work, at the moment but I have to call out so much its ridiculous cause I can't drive, and its a delivery job owned by a personal friend. So, Thank the Lord he is so understanding and knows what Tourette is! I'd have been fired by now, and I was fired and harassed on my Job when I was 16. My tics make everything that's so, so simple so, so hard! anyway I am glad you seem to manage without meds. I don't manage well w/o them. :) take care God Bless!

This is going to make my husband's day! I know it has made my day seeing this on here! My husband has this and has his struggles. So the more I can learn helps! Thank you !

Thank you Jamie Grace!!! I have had Tourettes since I was 5 and I'm currently 16 and your videos help me learn more about what I'm going through and I can relate so much.

You are such a positive and powerful inspiration, not just because of your ability to live life bravely in the midst of Tourette’s, but because you are a transparent, beautiful spirit. Thank you for letting God use you. Bless you for sharing.

You're such a sweetheart, so humble and honest ❤

[konjebyron]

You are such a great model of self acceptance

My youngest daughter is facing a possibility of a Tourette diagnosis and it’s been an emotional roller coaster. I just want to say thank you. I am so glad I’ve stumbled upon you and this video. I feel so relieved by your energy and smile. I want this for my baby . When she wakes up tomorrow we will be cranking your tunes and potentially watching this together as a family.

I am so glad that you made this video Jamie Grace because this is one of the reasons why I love you so much and I look up to you in such an incredible way. We can relate to each other so much that it may seem unbelievable. At the age of 12 I was diagnosed with Narcolepsy. There's no cure and it has something to do with the nervous system in your brain as well. The short definition for Narcolepsy is "Severe daytime drowsiness" and just like you I had trouble with controlling my movements in muscles which is one of the issues that come with Narcolepsy which is called Cataplexy. Going to school was so difficult that in High School I dropped out. There's so much more I want to talk to you about and things that we can relate to you and Tourette syndrome, but this is the comments lol😄.I really wish to meet you one day and be the bestest friends because you are the reason why I want to pursue in Music and Arts you just inspired me to up most and I thank God for you. If you ever have time I'm on Twitter and Facebook my real name is Angel Hannibald just look for the picture LOL.

I have Bipolar disorder and you are so amazing and an inspiration

[sophybrathwaite]

Been watching your vlogs two days straight and watching this one i had to subscribe, i think your awesome and so brave. Was in a car accident and i have serious back problems so i cannot really do much. So all I've been doing is watching all your vlogs and music... Continue to be awesome and living your life in God. Love

[dr.chinaza]

I love your confidence. It's amazing tics did not affect that. Most kids would have shrunk into their shells

[Cgrighteous]

It is awesome to see your vulnerability, through your weakness God is glorified, keep being transparent and open it is amazing to see that! God bless you 🙏🏾❤️
