The patient is a social parasite, having reached a certain state, it is inappropriate to live a long time, the stubbornness to vegetate cowardly, slave doctors and medical practices,

after we lost the meaning of life right to life, society should despise,

Physicians are responsible beings intermediaries contempt, they will bring more order, but each day their patient another dose of disgust

@welwitcha2000 my mom is unresponsive but DOES know what is happening. I do not see her as a "social parasite" and am sickened by your words.

Thank you for providing me with a video that I can show my 10 and 11 year old granddaughters whose Mom (my daughter) is becoming symtomatic. You are an inspiration with the best message on all the web. I will use this when I approach the issue of what is happening to their Mom. Unfortunately, their Dad is not at all helpful in this awful situation and has behaves angrily and mean around their Mom. I try to tell him how important it is that he respect her so that her daughters will as well.

@welwitcha2000 Wow, you are an awful person.

[FreddyThaNightmare]

@njbartholomew that was awful thing to say indeed, i can't even remember writing that.. im sorry, i truely am.

ive had my close relations with people in worse condidtions so i dont wanna go in on that subject.. But why even bother ? why go down to that chlidish level and respond to a negative comment like that ? is that your way to deal with the issue? i have no idea what ignorance was over me when i wrote that. but i came here to say sorry for attacking you personally, i suppose

[AudioPhilister]

I am one of eight in my family. I love you all.

[townsendshelly]

that is what i had,,my mom been sick sence i was young,i got test at 26,,i am 37,,i am full of fear

[robertdeboor]

i've got a 50/50 chance for HD as well, my mother has it and i havent been tested for it and just having other things to concentrate on and focus on really does help stop the stress of weighing what could or could not be everyone who is fighting against this disease and diseases like it should be commended for everything that gets done for it and hope for a cure

[njbartholomew]

@FreddyThaNightmare what is wrong with you???? what goes around comes around and im sure a petty person like yourself will get theirs in due time. If you ever had a close relationship with someone who had this awful disease then you wouldnt be making comments like that...your disgraceful!!

[njbartholomew]

@FreddyThaNightmare is there something wrong with you?. i mean come on, this is a horrible disease and you say something like that?. what goes around comes around. i'm sure what you got coming will get to you eventually.

why does she put her mom in front of a camera?

I would never ever want my mom to feel embarressed. Maybe that's just my opinion. But it makes me cry to see her. Huntington's disease is sooooo difficult to live with and she plays it so cool. She doesn't even know if she got it.

Well, In my familly , no one escaped from it.

All of my brothers, uncles, aunts.

No one of them has children, only my mom. she got me.

And I haven't got tested yet. Just got 18 .

So I'm sorry for my writing mistakes x
