  • For those of you that want to understand more about this Genetic disorder..search the internet for a BBC special called " Can't Stop Eating" it explains in great detail the struggle these people face in everyday life. We sometimes mock things we don't understand..I think the movie should be shown in schools worldwide. Josh, you are a tough young man to battle and keep control of this disease. there are many people out there that know how hard you work to live with it, and we support you.

  • thank you. you are courageous and amazing. incredible

  • @dmbball15 thanks

  • Why do you have a doll house in your room? lol

  • @pepsiturtle22 My mums a dolls house and she makes things lol

  • Nearly 19,000 appreciate you teaching about this Josh. Continue to educate and spread awareness. Very proud of you man, everyone supports you dude! Sean x

  • @ClaytonSummersville Thanks sean

  • Proud of you josh love grace x

  • @ClaytonSummersville Thanks grace and i will carry on what i do best and have success.

  • And good for you Josh! You are one confident individual to speak publically about your syndrome :]

  • @GodReignsInMe thanks and that grown my confidents even more

  • @josh5555568 It should! Don't let society dictate who you are; because everyone is unique. Embrace it.

  • FOR THE IGNORANT: I studied this syndrome. Prada-willi syndrome is an uncontrolled appetite due to lesions in the ventromedial hypothalamus. Well, in other words --> the normal homeostatic regulation of body weight through the hunger drive is not working properly! There are several symptoms that effect these people with the syndrome - motivationally, physically, cognitively & hormonally. Hope you understand.

    This is a good revision for my studies, haha :]

    MAIN POINT: Don't judge others.

  • @GodReignsInMe thanks and now i learn more. hope you studies are going well

  • If anyone doesnt excercise and eats out of boredom because theyre weak minded and cant control themselves they will get fat.

    It's a fact of life.

    Fucking Dr's diagnosing people with bullshit diseases just because someone doesnt fit in with the "normal" persons manorisms.

  • @VpOsiris You are the weak one here, I'm sure the problem you have is that a part of your brain is underdeveloped so therefore its unable to grow develop and learn new things, cavemen suffered with the same problems..this is a genetical disease and be careful as karma has a nasty habit of biting you in the ass..

  • @cassiesmum what are on about you are sad and you don't know anything about this

  • @josh5555568 I know you have a disability, and I bear that in mind when replying to you...but Im not addressing you in my postings.

  • @cassiesmum Wrong I just have strong beliefs.

    Karma is bullshit invented by people to try and deter people from doing hurtful things to each other, just as religion is also bullshit to try and deter weak minded people from doing "evil".

    Free your mind and stop believing everything you are told.

    You have a right to exercise your own opinion use it.

    So instead of trying to insult my intellect because you can't see my point of view review your own actions and think for yourself for a change.

  • @VpOsiris Your the ass here...how can u seriously believe that if someone sits on their backsides all day eating and getting fat will result in Dr`s making up some bullshit illness to allow them to carry on with their lifestyles?? I could never ever insult your intellect because as far as I can see..you have none! I have a genetic illness and believe me..they do exist!

  • @cassiesmum I know you point but im doing do it for not just everyone and im doing for the people that has pws. I know pws and i don't like you attitude.

  • @josh5555568 Jos...you have to read the comments again and maybe have you mum explain things to you. It wasn't me who made the nasty comments. I told someone off for having a nasty attitude. I myself have a genetic illness.

  • @cassiesmum im sorry i miss understanding and i know on the lines. i don't want to have a go at you but you shouldn't let anyone use your profile incase other people have the same situation. i want to believe you and i do but its very hard when it comes up with your name. thanks for telling me.

  • @josh5555568 *Josh*

  • Comment removed

  • @VpOsiris just just think what you are saying and think about how many people have lost lives because of this.

  • @VpOsiris Are you freaking serious?????? Educate yourself on this syndrome before speaking about something you know NOTHING about. How asinine can you be? This is NOT a bullshit disease. It is a genetic syndrome. My 2 year old daughter was born with this and it is a horrible syndrome that affects multiple body systems. Has nothing to do with being weak and lack of will power. Don't talk about things you don't know about. It is very hurtful.

  • @theprincesslexi1234 I do know and i know its a syndrome. you just don't get what i mean and it is as well as a diesase becuase its with you all live. i know its very hurtful and do you even care about it. in information its said genectic. see and im sorry.

  • @theprincesslexi1234 As for you seeming to think I'm creating a personal attack on the guy in this video you are sadly mislead.

    All I'm doing is making a point of how pharmaceutical companies and doctors will look for any abnormality within a person and use it to sell their drugs claiming it will cure it.

    Instead of letting your personal feelings cloud reasoning sit back and actually READ what I've put. I will not stoop to your level of making personal remarks.

  • @VpOsiris you need to be educated ( not to mention Bitch Slapped ) search the internet for a movie called "Can't Stop Eating " it may even be here on YouTube. Prader Willi affects only a trace amount of our population due to the fact that it is very, very rare. So VpOsiris - do us and yourself a favor and research this before you make comments that make you look like a complete Moron. Hope this helps you to become less ignorant about genetic disorders - and 1 more thing there is NO CURE for PWS

  • You are beautiful...no matter what they say and words shouldn't get you down. Don't listen to all those ignorant individuals out there. commend yourself for this video. It took a lot of courage to do this. Take care and live life to the fullest!!

  • Keep up the great videos. Thanks

  • Perhaps you could do a YouTube video about your teachers in and during high school years. I work with a PW student but this student is reluctant to talk. Perhaps you could share with the viewers what worked for you in high school.

  • Good job buddy.

  • Are you good at doing puzzles? I read that puzzle solving is often a strength for Prader Willi Syndrome.

  • Josh man... Just do your best dude I know it's hard too stop yourself from eating too much... I support you even if you don't even know me... Peace out and eventually you might finally break out off it... Miracles can happen bless you Josh... Always have faith

  • Actually, it's a genetic disorder. Now go eat an armchair and choke on the staples.

  • you don't nothing and you pathetic because you don't how many people suffer from the condition they are and how hard it is than any other person in world. so just careful on what you saying as peoplemay get affended about this.

  • @josh5555568 Perhaps you should start the 5th grade over, because that didn't make any sense whatsoever.

  • @ericlynch1975 just be careful what you say and you don't know anything and you pathetic as you don't this condition is bad.

  • @ericlynch1975 Seriously your going to be that ignorant you sick fuck my older brother happens to have it:/

  • i've got ganja willi syndrome. whenever there's weed in my sight, I can't stop myself from smoking it

  • My Bro has PWS and It gets hard to live with him but at the same time Im saying bad things about him (which I regret) I love Him and I give my full support to a cure and kids who have PWS

  • Josh, continue to do your best, day after day, one step at time.

    The temper tantrums that people with Prader Willi syndrome exhibits are similar to mine, whereas I have "only" ADHD, Single Sided Deafness, sensory issues and a Maths LD (Learning Disability). So causes of tantrums are not the same.

    For your appetite, I am sorry to be helpless, I have exactly the opposite problem (I feel full too quickly).

    As we say in French, "do well and let people say". I know, much easier said than done :(

  • @giulia271 i feel when i know i eaten too much but i just want loose weight but im thinking what shall i do but i hate having this condition

  • @josh5555568 I didn't say the contrary !! :) I just said that I have the exactly opposite problem : I sometimes don't eat enough.

    Unfortunately, I have no idea on how can I help you for the appetite problem, as I am in the opposite situation.

    That's all : relax Max as we say in France ;)

  • Hey man, I am here because I learned through a news paper that a person with the syndrome became a swimming champion (swam 3.2 kilometers) and I wanted to know what Prada-Willi is. Now that I know, all I can say is that you are an example that many should follow. An example of strength, life and overcoming obstacles. God be with you. Thank you.

  • I work in a group home setting assisting individuals with Prader-Willi syndrome. I think it's an extraordinary thing that you're going on youtube and talking about your experience living with this disorder, and I'm impressed with the quality of your video. I would be interested in hearing more from your perspective about living with PWS, and would encourage you to keep speaking out, and to be an advocate for yourself.

  • @Mistraker thanks

  • Thanks for responding so quickly!! You can email me at: sandyyybabyyy@yahoo.com ...I would love to talk to you thanks Josh!

  • This video is amazing and so are you. Please don't let anyone discourage you! Do you think I can email you some time? I have a lot of questions, thanks Josh!

  • @sandyyybabyyy69 hey thanks that u think im amazing i really appeciate that and yes u can email me when ever you like and look forward hearing you

  • OH MY GOSHHH this video is amazing...YOU'RE AMAZING! I'm sorry you have this disease, but it's so great that you're sharing it with us...I had no idea what it was like</3 Oh and I think it's sooooooo cool that your British, you are British right? haha k, byeeee(:

  • @sandylovesyou123 thanks and ikm suprised this video is popular and yes i am brittish.

    Well done Josh you are a star in the making

  • THANKS SO MUCH AND I LOOK INTO THAT

  • Thanks for sharing Josh. I'm currently in medical school studying to be a doctor and your video helped me gain a better understanding of this rare syndrome. I urge you to continue to share your knowledge with the rest of the world.

  • THANKS

  • Josh, thanks for making this video. You're awesome and it sucks that you have to deal with this, but you seem pretty tough. Does it really make you feel like you are starving all the time? I wish they could invent a drug that would make your brain think you are full.

  • NOT ALL THE TIME

  • You are amazing.  I loved the video and I'm so proud of you for making it. I would love to see more in the future if that is what you would like to do. Thank you again and know how much you are appreciated and loved.

  • You seem high-functioning, try to control the cravings and keep your head up high. Theres something wrong with everybody ya know.

  • Does your stomach growl all the time, or do you just feel like you want food all the time? You're very brave for putting this video online to talk to people about it. I hope you're doing well.

  • yep

  • you are a inspiration josh!! i work with young adults with pws i love my job and have learnt so much. i wish you all the luck in the world, keep strong josh!! xx

  • thanks so much i never knew that

  • Josh, no offense, but if girls kept calling you fatass, would you eat less and try to workout to become an alpha male? And when you become the alpha male, would you fuck them then dump them? Or would you marry one of them, even though they were being mean to you?

  • sorry but thats personal and i would not dump any girl because its wrong

  • @josh5555568 You are young my dear son, You will realize women are selfish heartless creatures. They will steal your soul Josh. You need to be like, fuck I am fat, and workout then fuck some bitches, then LEAVE THEY ASS ON THE STREET. Or else you will be some standard ass white man that white women cheat on with guys like me.

  • soory but i don't dump woman for wrong reason because its horrible and cruel

  • You're very courageous. stay strong

    This is a terrific video and I am so glad you put it up! Your courage and strength astound me.

    Ignore all those jerks who commented. Some people are completely ignorant!

  • thats very useful so thank you

  • thanks

  • thank you josh. You have alot to deal with and that takes alot of strenth.

  • thats ok and yeah it does

  • don't talk about my mum about that

  • shut you and load of bollocks.

  • what a horrible thing to say about something you all know nothing about. Prader-willi syndrome is a real genetic disease occuring on chromosome 15. It is very well documented, and can be tested for. How would you like it if your hypothalamus wasn't working properly and sent signals to your brain making you feel like you were starving to death all the time? This young boy probably has more will power than any of you will ever know. Shame on you for your comments, and good for him for his courage.

  • haha funny

  • stop being silly

  • @xxeternalbeautyxx ,

    You're an asshole. Prader-Willi Syndrome is real, my son has it, and its people like you who should be so unfortunate to be afflicted with the disorder.

  • @chelsea199713

    "people like you who be so unfortunate to be afflicted with the disorder"?

    That doesn't even make any sense: tell me has your son's prada-willi syndrome resulted in him eating all the fish in your household, thus depriving your brain from much needed brain-food?

  • lulz

    you fat cunt

    go eat a salad or three

  • shut up and im carefull

  • @HURRDURRDERPDERP

    Wow, I can't believe people like you can be so mean. Seriously, you're going to burn in hell. My son has PW if you were saying this crap to him, I'd hunt you down, and I'd hurt you, badly.

  • I've only ever seen english people with this disorder. What's up with that?

  • i think what's "up" with that is you haven't looked at any country other than England. idiot.

  • yes i have dougnot

  • wat?

  • its where you can't stop eating

  • My son is four months old, He was diagnosed two months ago. He is beautiful a total angel. You are an inspiration. As others said you look great. Best of luck, keep strong x

  • thanks and im sorry to hear that but hope he keeps well like me.

  • are you craving sugary sweets and unhealthy things?

    or could you just things liek fruits and veggies?

  • no and iam carefull but if i have a really stressfull day im a pig

  • maybe one day they will find a cure and they will be able to cure u i dont kno but i hope they do =)

  • i hope they do as i don't want to be in this mess

  • this is a good video you have made and im glad that you had made it, because it raises awareness about pw syndrome. from your point of view - well done josh and i hope you have have a bright and happy future -)

  • thanks very much and yeah i hope so

  • Hope things are going good for you. My son has Prader Willi Syndrome he will be 2 in June! I am so proud of him, he is the light of my life and he has a smile that melts my heart! Keep up the good work you look great!

  • good luck to him and things are alright at the momment but i want to be a different person

  • i am not saying that you dont have it i really believe you . I think you are in pretty good shape for having Prader Willi syndrome. keep it up. i think you are a trooper. as i said before, keep it up.

  • okaii and thanks
