I am Joey and I was diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome by second grade. Tourette's Syndrome is when your body moves without you wanting it to. It can hurt sometimes, but I think of it as God wanting me to be a good example.
My experience with Tourette's Syndrome: I have two tics, with head jerking and mouth jerking. I experience headaches all day. I'm on several medicines to help my tics. If you've ever had a migraine, I get them every day.
It is hard living with tics, but I live every day the best I can. I am a kid with Tourette's and I'm proud.

I am proud of you too! You are a great example to others in the way you choose to deal with your TS. Having TS is not easy, but I am glad to see that you are not going to let it get in your way. You are smart, funny, kind, and strong! I am very proud of you and know that you are going to do great things with your life.
I hope you keep writing and can inspire others with your thoughts and words.
Love to you,
Mom

Joey, you're terrific! You may never know all those you will inspire. Write on! (pun intended).

You are a shining beacon amid this fog of life.
Happy hunting!
Good for you! Keep your head held high. Keep on blogging!
Joey,
When I grew up, I found writing to be a wonderful way to share my thoughts with others. You are very brave to begin blogging and sharing your thoughts and ideas with others.
Keep up the good work!

Joey ~ I didn't know much about Tourette's Syndrome and your writings have helped me understand it more. Keep up the good work in sharing your life with others. You sound like a wonderful boy who is excited about life and trusts in the Lord. I will be looking forward to more of your writings.
