I did all of it online for my husband. I don't know if it was faster than "snail mail", it still took 9 months to get approved. I also used the advise on the main page from Phil on how to fill out all the paperwork for disabilty, it worked perfectly. We got him approved the first try!!!!!!!! Good luckby sptexas - Huntington's Disease Support Center
Well my phd and I are getting a divorce after 17 years. As a caregiver how do I get past the guilty feeling i have. For the last 10 years i guess i have been trying to prepare for this. This is a mutual decision, he is able to make decisions. But the guilt I am feeling right now is a little overwhelming. sptxby sptexas - Huntington's Disease Support Center
It sounds to like my situation as well. My husband is phd, we have been married for 17 years. He was tested 10 years ago but the last 5 years have been more intense, behavior, anger etc.... We have 2 pre teen boys. We are at the point of a living nightmare. Things really esclated last night. We have seperated before, but this time it's different, i know it's for real and he's not coming backby sptexas - Huntington's Disease Support Center
Hi Jennifer, We live in the Houston area. My PHD's,, My husband and 1 of his sisters see Dr. William Ondo at BCM. Dr Ashizawa at Galveston did their testing when he was at BCM. We like Dr Ondo so far, we've only had a few appointments. But so far so good. There is a genetic counselor her name is Katie Plunket she is great and is full of information. She knows my husbands whole family. Thatby sptexas - Huntington's Disease Support Center

Thanks to everyone for your posts. This forum inspires me everyday when i read the posts. Ya'll are a wonderful group of people. If i sounded harsh in some of my post i really did'nt mean too.

See this is why I decided to post my situation. I don't always think clearly when i'm an emotional mess. Ya'll have given me a few more things to think about. Thank u for that. I have a long way to go to get this resolved. But you all have given me some things to think about and try. The last thing I want to do is turn him is. He has been my husband/bestfriend for almost 20 years...... iby sptexas - Huntington's Disease Support Center
Luckly he has no access to our money or credit cards, so i guess I can be thankful for that. Hypothetically speaking, what if he's looking at both kinds of web sites? What would you do? Like I said before I have thought about turning him in myself, what would that do to my boys? What will it do if I don't? We have definately grown apart over the last few years, and had several other issues coby sptexas - Huntington's Disease Support Center
My husband of 18 years is HD+, and has been for about 10 years. The last 3 years or so, things are progressing quickly. He is home now and on SS. We have preteen boys at home. Over the last year or so his choice of internet sites to visit (shall I say adult sites), is a real issue for me, and always has been. I have never made it a secret about how I feel about that. Well it's gotten alot wby sptexas - Huntington's Disease Support Center
