For a $1,000 I'd rather spend my money on researching HD rather than find out if I have it. I fear I have it like my father, or fear that it will one day surface. I don't want to know at this juncture in life (I'm 28) as I have enough problems battling ADHD and OCD. I pray for all families who suffer from HD. I'm tired of crying from these videos but am empowered to help with making people aware. Sometimes I laugh at the symptoms that I may face one day, not to be callous, but to be positive.

My mother-in-law has HD and my wife is setting the stage for her to move in with us. I figured I better learn about the disease. It was a real eye opener.I thought I would post a link to my research for anyone that wants to read more about it. It's free, or course.helium dot com/tm/554418/huntingtons-disease-known-huntington REMOVE THE WORD "DOT" AND REPLACE WITH A PERIOD TO GET TO THE WEBSITE

i'm whats called at risk of hd. (i.e 50/50, heads or tails or read or black) but i dont let it ever get me down. if it means my lifes cut short by 40 years who cares its the time were alive is what counts, and who cares about statistics, my grandad (non hd side of the family) ran up a beach at d day. with a lot less of a chance than 50/50, he's 85 now and as he always says to me his at risk gransdson. drink all you can, smoke if you want to, if he wants you up there your going!!!!
