I read your post on the mini profiles . I was wondering do you have any family history that could have been mistaken for something else ( AD)(PD) or something else that could have been HD ? I am sorry your having problems ; your sister too . All my best. db

Hey db, We think it might have come through our Mom's side. Unfortunately, she left us when I was 7 years-old. I recently searched her name on the internet and found her on the social security death index. She committed suicide at age 55 because, according to her note, she couldn't stand living "this way" anymore. Our dad died at age 42 of liver cancer. He had no siblings. There were no symptoms of HD in my grandparents. My grandmother died at 23 of TB and my grandfather died of a head bleed at 72. I have another sister who died in a car accident who was symptom free and a brother who is symptom free.

My best to you too!
Jan
