      @huntingtonsdiseaseassociation 20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      There are many Huntington's disease specialists who look after multidisciplinary teams including occupational therapists, speech and language, physios etc who can all help people with Huntington's to live a better life and help with symptom management. There are specialist clinics across England and Wales and the Huntington's Disease Association can also help with signposting to these services.

It is very encouraging to see how much research and trials are ongoing. Like every family affected by HD we are in constant hope of a breakthrough that will stop HD in its tracks. Thank you for the work you are doing to help families affected by HD. ❤

    I was a carer to HD clients for many years. It's one of the worst diseases to be diagnosed with. So many sad stories and it's really important to talk about it so decisions can be made. One of those decisions is to not have children and pass it on, that's the cure.

    • @huntingtonsdiseaseassociation
      @huntingtonsdiseaseassociation 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hello Our purpose is to educate as many people as we can about the disease and it's misconceptions. Most people have already had children before they find out that they carry the disease. We also educate those who are positive or at risk and may not want to find out, how they can start a family without the risk of passing the faulty gene on.

    • @orbitingdecay6797

      It's not a cure it can start randomly

    • @nyx3967
      @nyx3967 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      ​@@orbitingdecay6797 Correct, new mutations (sometimes referred to as "de novo" mutations) can occur, where a child develops the disease without having inherited it from either parent. However, these cases are VERY VERY unusual and represent less than 1% of all Huntington's disease cases.

    Retired immunologist with a friend with HD. Are you aware of any trials (or anecdotes) of diets or antioxidant therapy that may slow progression of the disease? I am particularly interested in ketosis and ketogenic diets used for epilepsy and whether it may apply to other neurological diseases.

    • @huntingtonsdiseaseassociation

      Hi there, we would recommend watching the video below, it is a Q&A with HD Buzz (a reputable source for Huntington's disease research news) and the do touch on diet in this video: th-cam.com/video/iEmA8FkM010/w-d-xo.html Also, it would be worth getting them signed up to Enroll-HD (you can find more about this in the below video): th-cam.com/video/ncsplp9uTeo/w-d-xo.html They are a clinical research platform and the world largest studies and is a resource for both people with Huntington's and professionals. They have links to all trials as well.

    See this was what I kept saying when people were being so hateful like it was our fault that families couldn't come in (those of us working in the care homes). Tried to say this to lots of people telling them come get a job and you can come in, we need the help too. But not one person did this even those who were griping that their employers had to close their jobs.

    Having a diagnosis is important because even though you know that you keep seeing those job ads and you would love to be able to be a tree-climbing Arborist. You know that your father would have probably been able to work for longer if he wasn't a roofer. He didn't know that he was HD positive, though.
