    My heart goes out to this man, I have 4 grown children, 34,37,38,40. Only the 37 year old shows signs. He is very angry, with outbursts, etc.. I am petrified of his future. He has not tested yet, he has expressed interest recently in getting the genetic test done tho. Pray for us please... I am so damn scared. We did not know anything about HDuntil my ex wife found out her biological mom died at 52 from it, she at 61, and her sister at 59, both are positive, ex wife is in end stages and ex sister in law is close behind...they lost a half sister a few years back in her early 50s.. god bless this man and his children and his wife...♥️👊

She just had a baby 4 months ago and basically lost any custody she should of had as a mother, she has Worsened physically and mentally since giving birth, my heart just breaks that there is lil I can do to help her, other than be a friend to her & bring her daughter for visits❣️💔💔💔

      Interesting this the 3d story that I read today where the symptoms starter or worsened during pregnancy. I really hope that she can still spend time with her baby and other children, with supervision of course, it must be so traumatic to lose your baby, that itself could make symptoms like depression specially worse. So hard for the children too.

      @EmilieMarieLykkeDuus ปีที่แล้ว

      It's just so selfish. If I knew I had the disease or even had a 50% chance of having it, I would absolutely not have children. The horrible thing about this disease is that the more generations the genes are spread into, the younger the affacted person will be for each generation for developing symptoms.
      It's due to the number of repeats of the CAG in the HTT-gene. The more repeats, the younger the patient will be developing the disease and since spreading the faulty gene by having children, it will ALWAYS result in getting more of these repeats into the DNA of those children, who inherits the disease.
      That's why Juvenile Huntington's Disease exists. Children are literally beginning to get this disease as well. People seriously need to stop having children, if they know they have a chance of having a disease like this. It's not a worthy life to live for anyone affacted.

    How horrible and sad :'( Wish HD and all of the ataxias were juvenile diseases,than there would have been no sufferers by now. The older generations did'nt know about genetic diseases,so they never got tested,it just went on and on for generations,causing heartbreak and sorrow - it is a curse! The healthy parent also feels so responsible for his or her children's condition. It's a silent killer to every member of an affected family.

    Husband and I been married a long time, he and I had 6 kids before we knew the weird movements in his dad's later life was huntingtons and you are right huntingtons is a disease from hell. Husband has changed so much there is not alot of what I had known for many years left. 2 of the 6 don't have it. 4 sons have not wanted to do tests to find out yet. I told Husband knowing with every baby we had, there is a chance as an adult they could have huntingtons. I have alot of guilt.

    This Story breaks the heart of anyone.
    For all those, which are in trouble wit this horrabil illnes, maybe the following words may help:
    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 could help to 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.
    Everone can have a look into the web sides of the "Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine" for furter Information.
