00:00I am about to show you something that almost 100% guaranteed you have never seen before.
00:06I have something called Marcus Gunn Jaw Ink Syndrome. It's where a nerve from your eyelid
00:11that's supposed to go to your ear went to my jaw instead. So whatever my jaw does, my eyelid does.
00:17Watch this eye.
00:22Or when I chew.
00:23It is such a rare condition that most doctors will never see it in their entire careers,
00:32and most of us will go through our entire lives without ever meeting anybody like us.
00:36If you have Marcus Gunn Jaw Ink Syndrome, please know that you are absolutely beautiful and you
00:40are not alone. For everybody else, if you see something a little weird on somebody,
00:46maybe think twice before commenting on it. I also have something called ptosis. See how this
00:52eyelid hangs lower than this one? Most of us have ptosis along with our Marcus Gunn,
00:56but not always. According to the National Organization of Rare Diseases, there's only
01:00about 300 of us on record in the world, which is a little hard to believe since so many of
01:04you have reached out to me. If you're not sure, please go see an ophthalmologist and ask them
01:08questions. They'll be very excited to see you because you're probably the only one they will
01:11ever see in their careers.
