You have a Center Of Excellence at Houston, Mine is two states away but closer, but it would be worth your while maybe to get into their clinic and go once or twice a year. My family Dr said outright he knows nothing about HD and he helps between visits whatever the psychiatrist prescribes. Psychiatrists are MD's and can prescribe drugs directly in all the US states. In USA, they start withby appleseed - Huntington's Disease Support Center

Thanks for the warm welcomes!!! I looked at pics and will try to get one of me. I have been wondering about teeth in people who are unable to brush or allow brushing: a big problem, yes??? Just imagining my mouth in ten years...lots of root canals in my life, and now I'm wondering if it was worth it. implants don't decay get as much gum irritation.by appleseed - Huntington's Disease Support Center
There are much faster disasters like my friend with ovarian cancer... That was constantly present in my mind while I learned about HD> give yourself a year of learning all you can about HD, also hopefully your wife will become expert. I offered my husband a divorce (knowing he wouldn't do it) but I needed to make sure he was willing to hang in there. It takes time to learn before yoby appleseed - Huntington's Disease Support Center

It would save a lot of time in thinking about the problem, for those of us who have learned the power of antidepressants, if you would note whether the symptoms are occurring in spite of psych meds like SSRI's, in USA, sertraline or fluoxetine (Zoloft or Prozac for example) or other meds. Please do not ignore these tools if you haven't considered them. I am both HD+ and a Physician Aby appleseed - Huntington's Disease Support Center

Hello everyone...lots of new folks I see. It will take me a few sessions to read everything. now that it is mid-90's temps here outside, I am forced inside and here I am. we enlarged our garden to accomodate all the folks who like the produce we give away...didn't realize treble the plants is treble the watering and weeding and mulching.

I'll pray these problems resolve for you. I believe you don't have to solve them yourself. One way to begin understanding the situation is to find some other woman to get to know her if you can't, to find out why stuff bothers her so much...are you the only one in the apt who can have a dog, by any chance? Remember she is responding far more to what is wrong in her life... I had an evilby appleseed - Huntington's Disease Support Center
I was social security disability approved before I tested HDpositive, for the spinal and neck problems I have, and post traumatic stress disorder from federal prison work. I wanted retirement disability but didn't want ssA, I wanted to work, because I was in complete denial about everything like memory loss and fatigue and, later, falling.

the meds that help are antidepressants and suppliments ("nutraceuticals" like fish oil and creatine. Make sure your thyroid tests normal before assuming anything else causes problems. High thyroid can cause twitching and low can cause depression. anonymous testing is what the Centers of Excellence are designed to provide.

A dedicated Mom of HD+ sent me this with beautiful pictures. 1. Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after having a baby. - That somebody doesn't know that once you're a mother, "Normal" is history. 2. Somebody said you learn how to be a mother by instinct. - That somebody never took a three-year-old shopping. 3. Somebody said being a mother is boring. - Tby appleseed - Huntington's Disease Support Center
the HD community has a support group that is world wide. Within the USA, the scientists and medical staff who are used to HD are grouped into centers that concentrate the best care: Center of Excellence.

where do you buy the creapur? I found out the chewables I was using when I left home to run around (and suddenly got tired) are rotting my teeth... I need a quick form like capsules. I found the powder dissolves best in milk at warm temperatures, so I mix up chocolate to take the powder form. Too high in calories for me, but will figure something out later.by appleseed - Huntington's Disease Support Center
sorry, it was just a comparison to clarify. we can control and manage diabetes because we have a test. If there were no blood sugar test, you couldn't control the diabetes, because how would you know how you were doing? Years ago, in fact, there weren't easily checked tests for blood sugar, and people didn't try to control the sugar as tightly.
