[matz29]

[aponcapone]

[TwittyWhit07]

My neice was diagnosed with Juvenile Huntingtons a couple of years ago shes now 17 yrs old...and my brave star....I have a video on my link...love and hugs to all those familys affected xx

[gerardop3]

[LKSS100583]

[HNPrask]

Nw drug was just approved for treatment of Chorea-- XENAZINE. Check it out at Cambridge Labs and Prestwick Pharmaceuticals.

[donatonha]

Muito lindo!

E só de pensar que por tantas vezes disperdiçamos a nossa chance de viver.

[SumthinMstBAvailable]

My mum has HD, She's in the late stages and watching this video .........omg i can't stop crying.

[swstryker]

@SumthinMstBAvailable I realize this comment was from 3 yrs ago. Is it Ok to ask if your mom is still alive? Do you know if you have HD? My wife is in late 2nd stage/early 3rd stage HD and I have 2 adult children who are part of the 50/50 group.

[qzza44]

hd does not take away ur ability to think my mom knew everything about what was goin on she just couldnt do nething about it godblesshersoul

[claralilalo]

My mother has also HS.

I would thus like to protect.

But how should I protect them if I have nothing against which I fight,

to the passing of time?

[loopydeloop08]

moving vid , and a great way to spread awareness of huntingtons. Love the idea of using hands..

[kloputzer112]

i have to write a work about HD for school, its really sad that there still isnt any solution...but do you all know that in the lab they could cure a rat from HD??? i think that there will be a way to cure people from that disease. i hope so and i wish good luck to all the families with HD-incidents!!

[braveharty]

hello how you doing, man i feel yor empathy for us that have hd, but doing it in mice and rats means shit, pardon the french. but keep your spirits high. because you are what we need

[Crazee108]

It's progress. You gotta start somewhere! =/

[braveharty]

thanks for your deep insight into the workings of a HD brain in mice and rats,

only joking pal, well i suppose it might be progress, and you are right, you have to start somewhere.

[dhette24]

we have just studied and made an imaginary patient about this kind of disease, well thee is a 50/50% of chance acquiring this disease when huntington's disease runs in you family... this video is helpful to me... lets help them please

[pnx031]

Yes if someone in your family has it, it is 50% chance as it is autosomal dominant.

Even if there is no history it might just pop up as this disease even though it's autosomal dominant it has anticipation effect which means it gets worse from generation to generation.

So it's very possible it can just pop up from a seemingly normal phenotype's family.

[keenandwhat009]

It's actually a 90% chance

[crazzer123]

@keenandwhat009 50%

[keenandwhat009]

@crazzer123 Will i think your wrong

[crazzer123]

@keenandwhat009 It's 50

[silk14u]

@keenandwhat009 Based on what facts? I would like to see some please.

[aponcapone]

@silk14u and we would like to see the fact of your 90%...

[Donfratelli]

My Mum Has HD. Her Whole Family Had It.

[darylcarolynpopp]

Beautiful video!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jonnosall]

My wife has HD, I just cried and cried.

[swstryker]

@jonnosall How is she doing and how are you?

[kreldo]

amazing video - thanks :)

[SumthinMstBAvailable]

My mum has Huntington's disease, and it's so upsetting to have to see her the way she is.

It breaks my heart. I've always felt so alone as ive never known or met any one else with huntingtons in there family. thank you for this video

[dzippere]

So what does this disease do to you? is it terminal or does it just create involuntary movements like the people in the video?

[SumthinMstBAvailable]

Huntington's disease's most obvious symptoms are abnormal body movements called chorea and a lack of coordination, but it also affects a number of abilities and some aspects of personality. Its a illness that gets progressivly worse. most people die from choking then the actual illness itself, but yes there is no cure and its termianal.

[cutyJen]

So sad :'(

i hope someone will find a cure of HD.

[beckyboo1968]

Lovely film, thank you. Mum and auntie have HD, grandfather died from disease.

[JuicyJemi]

Hello, thank you for posting this video. I am 32 and I am HD+. This really puts things into perspective.

[littlebrittain1]

please god help them! please!

[DXDan619]

I lost my dad in 2005 and he had HD and i am now 13 i lost him when i was 11 to read my story go on my profile and watch my Huntingtons vid and read da description

[Blitzballfan]

I have to say it again, thank you so much for making this video, it has really touched my soul. Thank you.

[angelbix]

My husband's best friend whom he's known since they were school kids has HD. He is 44 now and was diagnosed 5 yrs ago, but he's shown symptoms (the Chorea) for nearly 14 yrs. He has rapidly declined since his official diagnosis. Luckily right after he was diagnosed we were able to take him to San Francisco. These are blessed memories and we'll always remember Mitch as the strong, talented athlete that he was, not what HD has turned him into.

[sofiescholl]

thanx, great job, just thank ya

[gmnicco]

tnx

[9Shadowfax9]

very touching... :'(

[braveharty]

hey , jilholer, life is shite, but at least they give us fresh shite to kick every day. but hey , fuck them all. it's me and you all the way

[PacificLight]

Thanks for the video!

[onegr8jumpr]

A very touching video. It's nice that you made the helping hands video, it shows just how productive these patients once were.

[catapultsup]

My beautiful wife, She's only 29 has been diagnosed as being in the late stages of this hideous Disease. I thought I was all out of tears until I saw this.. Thank you... and May more people see this to understand a little more about this little known disease.

[treycourtandsyd]

Thx. My mom is in her last few weeks of a 15 year HD battle. She was a social worker and helped a lot of people.

[Blitzballfan]

God bless you for making this video, My dad has HD and he suffers so much everyday, and god bless his too. I almost had it...

[ifeellead]

iiii hhhaaavvveeee hd tfjkfrhj sdrrioy i csantg rwrite

[ERICKATERLE]

beautiful images, they remind me of my mother who also had HD...

Thank You Michael

[thiz916]

im glad u made this video my mom has HD it makes me sad that she dont want no help from us I love her very much this video makes me cry

[jlholder]

I love this video. I was diagnosed with the gene, but don't have symptoms yet, and my dad and grandfather both have it, so it's hard to watch this video, but it's very touching and close to my heart as well.

[danadoo007]

Ok. Not feeling sorry for myself anymore.

[joshuaace]

Great video.My gf is 27 and in the middle stage of HD her whole family has been devastated by this insidious disease.I use to live a carefree happy life...I have never seen or experienced anything like this in my life.I can only describe it as a many years long,slowly breaking heart feeling that never seems to get easier to deal with.

[glowingrose]

my oncle has huntington ='(

[harrisdurrani]

Beautiful Song.. i am a 23 year old guy and this video made me cry because my dad is an HD patient.

[edinburghdude]

i look after my brother who is 28 and had hd. this video has brought a tear to my eyes.xx

[forlisa911]

I'm crying. Thank you Michael for making this.

My friend's family has HD -- all 3 of her kids are dying and her 2 grandkids are "at risk" with a 50/50 chance of inheriting the deadly gene.

I'm glad you let everyone know they're completely normal & healthy before that bad gene clicks and starts taking their lives away.

Go to www.hdsa.org for your local chapter for help. I volunteer with the Orange County California group. We are SO CLOSE to finding the cure!

[ajb789]

great vid. I teach med students and use patient vids that show the whole body but the focus on hands is quit nice-powerful.

[Blitzballfan]

my dad has it, its awful, my whole dads family has it except from me and my 1 cousin... im not joking..

[JamieGilmour]

How could anyone rate this video a 1? I have Chorea (not huntingtons) and as I watch this video, my hands are totally doing what they are doing in the video and God bless the ones who have huntingtons chorea. God bless them. God bless the people who want to learn how to help.
