I’m currently my husband’s caregiver because of Huntington’s. It’s tough, but I want him to be as safe, happy, and healthy as possible for as long as possible. It’s a horrific disease.

Just came across this video, since there are not very many new videos that are less than a year old. My father-in-law had HD and both brother-in-law‘s had HD and now my niece has it and she’s 28 my husband is 61 It does not have any symptoms, so we’re just praying that God has chosen not to be caregivers. After watching my mother-in-law go through taking care of her husband with HD for eight years now we’re doing the same thing. It’s the cruelest coolest disease out there. I wish more people know about Huntington’s disease. God bless you for making this video.❤😢

What a lovely, lovely woman! She does know what it is to live with Huntington's disease. She has a double dose of it, and although she doesn't have the physical symptoms, she has to live with and manage the symptoms of two of the people she loves most in the world. It is tragic that people and families hid the disease from their spouses. Huntingtons and other neurological diseases (like ALS) are maddening. There are always research articles proclaiming that we are on the cusp of a cure, or at least a viable treatment. I get very excited. Victims of the disease and their families are ecstatic--until you realize that they have been saying the same thing for decades. These families need our support and encouragement. We need to stop funding ridiculous pet projects like " bus stops complete with Wi-Fi, heated benches and sidewalks, and a steel-frame roof" or the "Popular Romance Project," or "he National Institutes of Health spent more than $300,000 on a University of California, Berkeley, study that proved something no one was questioning-couples are happier when the woman calms down after an argument." Start looking at the other outrageous things, on which our tax dollars are squandered! That money needs to be spent on research and testing for cures, and for pre-IVF testing for people who have these genetic diseases. We owe it to them. We owe it to the yet unborn children who will be afflicted with these diseases. We owe it to the people who love them.

Thank you for sharing your inspirational story. As the carer of an adult discharged unsafely from CNTW mental health Trust and the fallout when I was the target and got blamed when he was delusional. But I got on with it. I gave up my Senior nurse career, and PhD but got MPhil, got into carer related debt, nonetheless the reward of making a difference in others lives is worth it.

Thank you for making this film. I was diagnosed January 2020. Your bravery helps other care givers. Right now, I am doing well. I home schooled our three daughters. But because those seventeen years were with me not working, I never went back to work. Now I have too few points for SocialSecurity help with disability. I have a wonderful family. Some haven't tested. I never wanted to either until I started with such depression and anxiety, But now I take meds for those symptoms, and because I never went back o work, I don't have the worry of not being able to work correctly cognitively. So far, I am walking well, etc.... I am a fall risk and chocking risk though. I use a medical necklace which we are all thankful for. I still drive, but will stop on my birthday and not renew. I only drive one place now,, close to home. As I said, thankful for all you are doing for the community and raising awareness.

My mother died of HD about 12 years ago. One of my brothers also developed the disease and opted for assisted suicide when he was 54. It was a huge shock to the rest of the family as he didn’t tell us about his HD and he refused to have a relationship with us. We only found out when his wife phoned us to tell us he died.

Isn’t it the case for all of us dear, living as long as we can as well as we can , sometimes we just forget that at any moment we can be Bert and Elise, our brains out of denial refuse to see that, we all have to appreciate life and appreciate living day by day and to enjoy life to its fullest and never to take it for granted.

Ask God for wisdom and guidance in His Bible and ask Him about your spiritual authority and how to use it. What would Jesus do. Keep talking with God and study Jesus' life and what it was all about. Jesus never turned anyone away from a healing that got in front of Him or even lowered down through a roof. Never give up and never let the dark side convince you certain things are "from God". Jesus bled out for us. Demons know that and don't want us to know what all that entails and gives to us. AUTHORITY.
