deja vu

Post a new topicby livingwith on Thu Sep 06, 2007 9:38 pm


My father was diagnosed with HD over five years ago and he is 65 and not well at all. Late last year, I (male - 39years) got my results from the tests and it turns out I have it as well.
Although I don’t have any symptoms yet, I am going though life faster than anyone…trying to make the most of everything… but everytime I go and see my father in the way he is, its hard to pretend I don’t have anything (as I have not told my mother).
Is it not weird to be in this kinda ...Read the full article

I have several family member who diagnosed as HD patients. My grandmother was an HD but she died of cancer and her HD genes passed to my aunt and my uncle (both of them have diagnosed when they were 50 years old). My mom started raising her eyebrows periodically even though she seems perfectly normal. She is 52 years old now and I am really scared for her to be diagnosed as HD. Can you tell me more about early stages of HD based on your experience and what kind of test did you get it from the hospital?

I kind of understand what you have been getting through and I know how hard your situation is...I think we all should live our lives as best as we could and make the most of everything...

Thank you...
