Recently, I joined a group on yahoo called the Huntington's Disease Support Group. It has been a blessing since joining. I joined this group because my father has Huntington's Disease or as we call it HD. I have met some beautiful people on this site who are very supportive and so much stronger than I could ever be.
It is stated that every child born of a parent who has HD has a 50/50 chance of having this disease and at present I will be undergoing test to determine if I have HD. I was tested before, but through a series of unfortunate circumstances, my test results were lost. HD does not discriminate and a lot of people are not aware of this Disease. It was only 3 years ago that I learned about HD and that was only because my father was diagnosed with it.
To the members of the HD Support Group. . .You have my love and I want you to know that I appreciate you. Thank you for your support and I pray that I can be just as supportive for you as you are for me. Tonia and Lynn :) I love you.
