To quickly access health information from your website's browser, download The Gray Area It has been two months now since I’ve been given my results of my HD DNA test. The test came back uncertain. 39 repeats. Just teetering on the edge of the cliff. I may never develop symptoms or it may happen later in life. I’ve still given my son a 50% chance of inheriting this gene. I am currently symptom free as well as my siblings and my mother. That is what I concentrate on. Oh I’m not going to lie to you and tell you that I don’t ever have bad moments. It’s not fair to be afraid of the way you were born. It’s not fair that I feel defective. Even on my worst day all I have to do is look at my beautiful child. I don’t think he’s defective so why am I? If this disease comes for me I will fight it with everything that I have. I will not live in the gray anymore. I’m looking towards the light. God bless all of you. Comments
