I saw the development of all the stages for my wifes younger sister and some with her older brother. During the years of helping SIL, I didn't look for any symptoms in my wife. Now that the wife has started showing symptoms, they were very obvius and a microscope was not needed. I would say you should stop looking and enjoy. If you need a microscope, its not HD. Not only did wife chose notby JFB - Huntington's Disease Support Center
JL- That refreshed my memory some. I haven't been able to sleep in the same bed with my wife years now due to thrashing (and sleep terror dreams). It is now when i look in one her early mornings, if i don't see any twitching, I know she is sound asleep. If there is twitching, I can wake her easily. (helps when trying to sneak out of house) I believe the thrashing occurs during those sby JFB - Huntington's Disease Support Center

My wife has a very great fear of HD, that oby JFB - Huntington's Disease Support Center
Many years ago, even before any symptoms, I was alone for a few months in foriegn country. At resturant i fequently visited a gorgous curly haired blonde was very flirtatoius. I thought about giving into temptation one week end, but as I was getting ready to go out, the TV was showing "Fatal Attaction". That has to be the scariest movie ever. Now, I'm too tired to even think aboutby JFB - Huntington's Disease Support Center
First, I'm glad Kevin has someone like you. Something you need to verify. When my SIL first got SSI, I put her back payment checks in savings, and she then started "living" of the monthly checks. every year, there was an audit to verify she was still in need and disabled. after about 5 years, they noticed the reporting of the savings. (i believe $2,200). We were then informed thiby JFB - Huntington's Disease Support Center
