Everyone has enjoyed getting to know Loren on "90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After." It turns out that she has Tourette Syndrome, which she didn't even admit at first. She was quiet about it, but when people noticed Loren decided to open up about what is going on with her. Now in a new video that TLC posted on YouTube she is sharing about how she got over this embarrassment. It was hard for her, but Loren is now an Ambassador for this disease and helping others to understand that they are not alone.
What did Loren have to say?
Loren explains that she found out she had Tourette's when she was just seven-years-old.
She admits it was hard growing up with this because she didn't have anyone that was telling her she wasn't alone. By Loren admitting that she has it, people can see that other people suffer from this daily. She wants everyone else to know that they are not alone and that someone else suffers from it. They can watch her journey on the show, which helps for sure.
She admits that people are cruel and so she was afraid to admit that she had it. Loren didn't want to deal with people being mean to her about it. She shared that some people with it grow out of it, but for her it has gotten a bit worse as she got older. Loren explained that as an adult she can figure out what triggers it and what doesn't so this makes it easier on her.
It took her over twenty years to talk about it, but she admits she still has moments where she is embarrassed. Loren wants to share her story and help other people.
Loren talks about it on the show
Loren is very open about it on the show. She even talked about how she found out that it can be passed onto her children, but they will be there for their kids if this happens.
Her husband Alexia was shocked at first, but he is okay with it and will be there as well. These two really seem like they are in love and are doing great. They also told Alexia's mom about how it could be passed on to their kids, but she loves them both and seems fine with it.
