Does anyone who is showing symptoms have any experience taking vitamins and or supplements that have garnered a positive result? Any information would be helpful.

I'm gene positive with a low CAG count (40) and am fortunate to be still symptom free at age 68. I began my supplement regimen when I tested positive in 2003. After a few months I noticed my brain seemed to be sharper. My short term memory seemed better and driving seemed to have improved. I felt more comfortable driving right next to barriers.

It seemed like my eyesight had improved, but my annual eye exam showed it was the same. All this is purely subjective, but I feel they have and are continuing to help.

Welcome. You're among friends here.

Will, that is awesome, glad to hear!

To be honest, us caregivers (my wife has HD) would do ourselves well if we actually ate as well as the people we are preparing foods for!

Seriously, I serve up a big ole bowl of fruit for my wife every morning as she has a voracious appetite. My son is in high school and I cut him up some fruit before he heads off to school. I should be eating what they are eating. Supplements, not sure which ones, but I find that some of the diet and exercise recommended would be good for ALL of us.

I am sitting on my butt, very much sedentary style, while I type this.

There are a lot of supplements available. You just need to choose the right one for your condition to get the right nutrients you need. And don;t forget to ask your doctor first before taking supplements
