Your post reminded my of a program I listened on NPR awhile ago. It was an interview with an author Adrian Raine who wrote a book The Anatomy of Violence: The Biological Roots of Crime. I haven't read the book yet, but I plan to. I really can't give a comprehensive outline of the program since it was so long ago, but one point I seem to remember him making is that there he's studied criminal's brby eve - Huntington's Disease Support Center

Don't be too hard on yourself. I know nothing about the ENROLL study and maybe you're relaying this with some humor? But in case you're not, remember we all have "off" days. Another consideration is the natural aging process. I'm getting closer to 50 and I can tell my brain and body aren't what they were even compared to 5 years ago. I'm not pHD but just getting older.

Liz, you are not weak, you are wise. You have to take care of yourself and getting on some medication is worth a try. I'm on something and it didn't work overnight and it's not like a miracle happy pill, but it has taken the edge off my anxiety and depression. I urge you to give it some time and try it. I'm sorry for all you're going through. It really sucks and is really hard. Keep us posteby eve - Huntington's Disease Support Center
Everyone is different. My FIL had minimal physical symptoms until about the last 2 years and even then there really wasn't any chorea except his feet would move when he sat, but even that wasn't too much . Although he had troubles driving in regards to the gas pedal being pushed to much then too little. The psych symptoms were more of an issue. He had late onset. He really only had mild fidgetby eve - Huntington's Disease Support Center

Read over past posts here. There are topics you can type into the SEARCH area if you have specific areas of concern. You may need councilling or a good friend to listen to each of you and then bring you together to discuss and figure out specifically what areas are not working well in your relationship.by eve - Huntington's Disease Support Center
I wonder if it's a similar disease?by eve - Huntington's Disease Support Center
type in Coenzyme Q10 in the search engine and you can see past posts. Some people feel it's too expensive to be "worth it". Many feel Ubinquinol is a better absorbed form of CoQ10by eve - Huntington's Disease Support Center
My husband (who is HD genepositive and doesn't seem to have HD yet but is probably mildly affected) has beengetting mad over stupid things. He won't talk to me for awhile when he's in a funk. He's driven away in a fury and not come back for hours. We haven't had sex for longer than I can remember. So I suppose that pushing away part could be part of HD.

I think you're smart to tell him you won't stick around if he's drinking. That sounds as if it'll turn into a disaster you'll regret. Stand firm. He's the one who needs to decide if he wants to quit or not. I guess I'd say that's number one on the list.by eve - Huntington's Disease Support Center
I too sometimes am in the mood to offer support, but sometimes I need a break from this site to re-charge. For my situation the person I love isn't really affected by HD yet (maybe just in the first mild stages) and there is not a family history, so I'm not dealing with it day to day and it's sort of easy to put it on the back burner and take a break sometimes. It doesn't mean that I don't careby eve - Huntington's Disease Support Center
My son is on the autism spectrum and is also at risk for HD. He was very young when we found out it was in the family (late onset in his grandfather who had no known history). I truly hope he isn't HD positive because he already has enough things to deal with. He is young (still in elementary) but also has a lot of negative thinking. We have had some medication changes that have helped (someby eve - Huntington's Disease Support Center
I agree with Marsha that it would be really beneficial is someone could call your work place and explain to them that you don't have a drinking problem and you were offended that they thought that so that's why you quit. Have them explain that you have a neurological problem. I would hope that they might hire you back or be forced to fire you so you could get unemployment or benefits.

My husband seems more tired than he did when he was younger, however he wakes early in the morning, so he's sleeping on the couch in the early evening. Plus he's not really symptomatic. Also he's an older dad to a young child with several challenges, so that could explain it. I'm an older mother and I feel extremely tired in the evening and just tired most of the time.

That's a good question that I don't know the answer to. It can be challenging for anyone going vegan to make sure they get proper nutrients. Maybe consult with a dieticianby eve - Huntington's Disease Support Center

Wow Barb. I just read your post and wish you would cut and paste it to it's own topic post. It is so wise and I'm afraid it will get buried here and not read and it should be read by EVERYONE regards of gender or HD status. PS feeling happy you found a good guy to have in your life.

I can understand maybe they're understaffed and have a lot to do, but that doesn't solve the problem that they are providing poor care. Maybe there is a volunteer group you could get involved to come in and help the staff with issues such as this. I suspect your husband isn't the only one getting less than optimal treatment.by eve - Huntington's Disease Support Center
