I am katie, i am 19 and recently diagnosed with hd. I am interested in meeting people online who might have something in common with me. Since most people diagnosed with Hd are much older than myself. I am already showing some symptoms, mostly cognitive and emotional. My motor skills arent to bad.
MY father has hd. He was diagnosed in 88, he is 41 and is in either a walker or wheelchair. my grandfather has hd also, and is still alive at 62, he seems better than my father. he only walks with a cane. MY great grandmother had hd, but is now dead. she was bed ridden, and died in her 70s.
please write me.... if you have anything to say, or in common...
To all that Hd's dark shadow crosses, you are in my prayers...
love katie

Hi Katie,
I am an 18 year old that was diagnosed with HD when I was 12. Slowly but surely my symptoms are progessing, but continue to charge on with life. Maybe we could be each other's support...
