Me, my little sister, my dad, and my older sister are all terminally ill with a disease called Huntington's Disease. It slowly takes away all of your abilities until it kills you. This video shows my dad and my little sister Karli together.
it takes so much for huntingtons families to stay strong. every day is a battle and you loose your best friends being those lost to huntingtons. i have lost a grandfather 1 aunt and 2 aunts are suffering. also my best friend in the world MY MOTHER. i am the daughter of a positive huntingtons patient. i am 50-50. and question my life everyday. i now have 2 of my own kids and am deathly scared for them everyday. we all need to stay brave. god bless
I can relate to this..my grandmother (my dad's mother) has this disease and now my uncle (my dad's brother) is showing signs of it. I was little when my grandmother was showing signs. She is in a nursing home and slowly slipping away. It is horrible.. =[ i miss her everyday and wish there was a cure for this. She has no idea who we are. My dad (who is 40) got tested and has no signs so that puts me at a somewhat low risk. Your family will be in my prayers,
I just want to say I think you are very brave for posting this video when you are a sufferer yourself - I cannot begin to imagine how difficult it must be emotionally. Thank you for raising awareness. My mother and my sister both have HD, but at least they are adults - watching a child have the symptoms must be heart-breaking. Let's hope a cure is found soon, and people support the HDA.
I cant even explain how much this video hurts my soul. My husband has Huntingtons and our daughter is at risk. She is 5 and sometimes I see signs of the disease in her..
I am so very very sorry that you have to go through this. It is to much for any person, it´s the most painfull experience I have ever had and will ever have in my life.
