    My Huntington’s Disease story begins like most people in the HD community. With a family history. about a year ago I was diagnosed with having the defective Huntington’s gene. Yes, it is hard - and some days are much harder than others - but there are many positive noises coming from the Huntington’s experts about new research and treatments and that fills me with real hope. Have a look into gene silencing, it’s like something out of a science fiction movie, but it could be ground breaking! It was obviously gutting to have my fears confirmed but I at least know what I am up against and I know that it’s unlikely I’ll experience symptoms earlier due to having a similar CAG count. (A CAG count. Huntington's Disease is a devastatingly aggressing disease, I have known that neurological disorders were aggressive. As I learnt more about Huntington’s I wanted to do something positive in what was a negative situation. I know it’s hard at times but you should try not to focus on the negatives. Try to turn them into positives. I was hopeful that a cure will be found as science is really doing all they can. We took part in a research project which involves a two day trip to Florida to the Huntington’s Disease Centre, We were opportunity to meet with Dr Odia, A highly recommend herbalism with scientific medicine. There are lot to say about Dr Odia, I really want to thank God that this man was used to end my sorrow, All my pains and tears turn to joy from the day I came in contact with Dr Odia, We were educated more about the use of herbs and few purchase the herbs which I used for two month and three week's. To my greatness surprise it did work out for me. There is no need for anyone to have a date stamped on their forehead when they’re diagnosed with Huntington’s Disease. I would encourage anyone to seek a second opinion especially if they’ve been told there’s no hope. It’s also crucial to learn as much as you can about your diagnosis. Seek options. Find out about what’s out there that could help. Contact Dr Odia via( Dr Odia Herbalist Home on Facebook) or email: drodiaherbalistcenter@gmail.com).

      @Eternalpride100 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sadly, its not purely hereditary. Letting everyone with Huntington's Disease die off will not make it go away. Genetic conditions can be like that sometimes. Its rare, but it can develop by random chance and spread to children by the person who originally had the genetic malformation. Everyone has the Huntingtin gene, its a repeating sequence of genetic code (in this case CAGCAGCAGCAG...). The number of repeats is what will determine if it will develop into Huntington's Disease proper. I think it is below 28 or so is normal and will not manifest into the usual neurodegeneracy. Over 35 or so repeats will present the possibility that it could develop, but it is not guaranteed and can still be potentially spread to children. 40+ mean that it will develop. Beyond that, the number of repeats increasing will determine how soon it begins to manifest. 60+ repeats will results in Juvenile Huntington's disease, meaning that it will begin to manifest in your 20s or so. By the time your 40, you will likely have developed dementia and will need to be monitored constantly, similar to an Alzheimer's patient. By time most people start to develop enough symptoms for a proper diagnosis, usually 30-50, they will have likely already had kids and spread the gene to them. So if all people with Huntington's, the potential to develop it, or the potential to spread it all died right now, it would likely just come back in a few years or so.

    The first cure according to Huntington`s disease was in 1973. It took 22 months. The proceeding is documented in the book “Orthomolecular Medicine For Everyone”, written by Abram Hoffer, MD, PhD, and Andrew W. Saul, PhD. Abram Hoffer was asked, if a treatment with a meagavitamin therapy might slow the rate of deterioration. He and his patient understood that there had to be no expectations of recovery on anyone´s part. Relating to the start of the treatment the Patient remained well at its end.

    I hope I understood that allowing "unawareness" was not a problem in its self (just the consequences). I have made it my life to ensure my Wife is not made aware she has HD. There is a considerable back story and some very interesting incidents. Here is an excerpt from a letter I have given to the few medical personnel she has seen. "When speaking with Wife, please DO NOT use the word “Huntington’s”, “Chorea”, nor discuss HD with Her. Doing so will cause anxiety, which can result in MORBID depression. Her perception is “I do not have”. (refer to Anosognosia below) Discussing the symptoms, chronic pain and restlessness (impaired muscle control), is desired so that treatment in hopes of relieving them can be attempted." Unfortunaely there have been several Doctors that have tried to force telling her. Thank you for the videos...

    This video makes a lot of sense, and would be a help for us all that are near this HD. My dad was not diagnosed for a long time, back then not many knew about this illness, it was fear of the unknown. I remember the volcanic episodes of rage that my dad went through all too well, I still have flashbacks and nightmares 50 years later... . It was like living with a Jekyl and Hyde. We loved him through it all

    wow, I became irritable when my father took his life last year and left my mother alone at 76 to fend for herself and my wife and I had decided to give up our lifestyle of happiness to live back in with my mom to support her as best we know how at 43 years old. Just after deciding to move all back to where we came from again with mom this time she took a terrible fall and broke her hip!! now she is in rehab for a month and while we are left to unpack the whole house she sold into a tiny apartment... she is recovering and I have to drive my wife and back to her job 20 minutes away each way and visit my mother a few times a week also. I do all the driving and my wife doesn't have a license! My mother is getting to old to drive, and won't be able to when she gets out of rehab anyways. The only good thing about all of this is that my mother has the money from the sale of the house and we needed to use that to get this apartment, and some furnishings and a newer car!
