A women with HD was also on a show called Private Practice. She was diagnosed with HD and attempted an assisted suicide which failed and then later did take her own life before she was symptomatic. It was nice that they talked about it, and although I know some people do take there own life's even at an early stage, they really made it out to be a complete death sentence. It was very unfortunate.by Yanta - Huntington's Disease Support Center
It is not an easy decision to leave someone with HD. The mood swings could be a result of the dieses or just the way she is, sounds like you weren't together long enough to know which way it was. Don't beat yourself up over it, you deserve to be happy too, just like in any relationship I have been going back and forth with a similar decision for sometime and although at this point I have choseby Yanta - Huntington's Disease Support Center
We got a call last night that my BF's uncle who has Huntingtons was hit by a car while crossing the street. He is in the ICU, my BF's Mom called and asked us to go check on him because we are the only family who lives in the city. We went to the hospital and he was in bad shape, and even with his casts and tubes he was all over the place. It was very sad he had been in the ICU for 10 days alreaby Yanta - Huntington's Disease Support Center
Hi Everyone, I am hoping their may be someone on here who would like to chat with me, preferably a spouse who can relate and give advice. I am at a point in my relationship with my BF where I am very scared and confused. My friends and family had never even heard of HD until now and still they are not very educated on it. To be able to chat with someone who has been where I am and knows whatby Yanta - Huntington's Disease Support Center
Thank you for taking the time to respond to my concern Unfortunately while talking to a professional would be the best option, I don't think he would even consider it. He doesn't like to talk or think about HD, that's the reason he doesn't speak with his mother often anymore its just a reminder for him of what his life may be. I so wish I could help him, I wish he didn't have to worry about tby Yanta - Huntington's Disease Support Center
This is one of the hardest questions anyone will ever have to ask themselves. Mare you are right who is it easier for to be tested, the spouse thinks it was the right thing but its not their body and mind they are not really the one who has to live with it. I'm not saying its easy for the spouse either but it is defiantly not the same thing. I believe (you can agree or disagree) you get tby Yanta - Huntington's Disease Support Center
When I met my Boyfriend over 4 years ago he spoke with his mother often, multiple times a week. (on the phone she lives in another province) In that time his mothers HD has gotten much worse, its hard to understand her and she tends to drop the phone a lot. I know that my BF is at risk of HD and we sometimes think he has symptoms, it kills me that he as grown apart from her. He makes excuses allby Yanta - Huntington's Disease Support Center

I have been dating my BF for almost 4 years, he is amazing. He helps me raise my 2 children and loves them as his own, when I look into my future I see him there. He told me about Huntingtons about 6 months into our relationship, he informed me his Mother has the dieses and that he is at risk. I met his mother who lives in another province about a year into our relationship and while I could seeby Yanta - Huntington's Disease Support Center
Your life and well being is important too!! Or at least that’s what I keep telling myself when I think of having to take care of my BF if he gets HD. I want to be with him forever with HD or no HD but what will my life be like? What will my kids life be like? I worry all the time I'm so scared but I feel so selfish because it won’t be me living with HD, but on the other hand I will be. I wantby Yanta - Huntington's Disease Support Center
Wow for a minuet there I thought was reading something I wrote, I wish I could be of help but I am in a very similar situation with my 30 year old BF whom I have been with for 3 years and could have HD. I wish is all the best I know how I am feeling about everything and I do not wish it on everyone. Good Luck!! PM me if you ever want to talk!!by Yanta - Huntington's Disease Support Center
I spoke to his Mother yesterday, she told me he has been considering being tested but this is the first I'm hearing of it. She is calling him to talk which I think he needs especially since apparently he won’t talk to me about it. I told him I wanted to talk and he got angry and said I am only trying to make myself feel better and maybe he is right. I always knew there was a chance he would haby Yanta - Huntington's Disease Support Center
I am unsure about his printing and he hasn’t been in any accidents recently. His mother is very open about her HD and really an amazing woman I am more worried about him being upset then her, although he is her only child and I know it's her hope he does not have it.by Yanta - Huntington's Disease Support Center
I have been dating my BF for more then 3 years now he is helping me raise my 2 daughters and is a wonderful man, his mother has HD so I know he has a 50/50 chance of getting it himself. He is turning 31 this year and all of the sudden people we know including his co-worker and my sister are asking what’s wrong with him and if he is on drugs or something. I know 100% he is not on any drugs but bby Yanta - Huntington's Disease Support Center
