To quickly access health information from your website's browser, download Mrs. Deborah Chapman When my husband and I first met, 1978, his grandfather was suffering from HD. Neither of us knew much about it. We married and had 2 children. About 10 years ago, my mother in law started showing signs that she had HD then her brother. Three years ago my son, then 20, was diagnosed with Juvenile HD His CAG repeat # is 65. Therefore we knew that my husband also had HD. His test revealed his CAG repeat at 44. We try to do all that we can to support HD cure research. This disease is hard on families emotionally and financially. I think that we are really doing pretty good but we know that we have a long road ahead. Please share with everyone so that the knowledge of this disease is spread so that people will understand it better. Please pass on knowledge of any supplements that you feel are working for your HD loved one. Comments
