He was diagnosed with diabetes when he was 15. He has always taken it quite well, but it's so much more difficult now with the HD. ..........and yes he LOVES sugar free ice creamby Sandyd - Huntington's Disease Support Center
Thanks for your ideas Pat. I am open to all suggestions. I have been giving him a lot of yogurt too. He does like cottage cheese and hasn't eaten that in awhile. I will try that this week too. He eats sugar free ice cream almost everyday....thats his favorite. I will keep you posted Sandyby Sandyd - Huntington's Disease Support Center
Right now he is taking wellbutrin and haledol. I don't really think thats an issue though. he also has thyroid problems so we are really monitoring that also. Sandyby Sandyd - Huntington's Disease Support Center

Julie, I am by no means an authority on nortryptiline, but my husband does take it.....And he has been doing pretty well on it. He has been on it for a year. The link was interesting. Honestly, one of his doctors disagreed with the use of it but he seemed to be doing well so they agreed to keep him on it.

J I haven't been around in a couple of days, but I have to say your story touched me. My husband like you was always an athlete.Along with the HD he was a juvenile diabetic. Fought through all of it played football in HS and then went on to play for many years in a flag league after school. He played many other sports in addition, but that was his passion. He now is in the Mid stages of HD andby Sandyd - Huntington's Disease Support Center
