        My husband is just getting ready to go to his shift in a specialist Huntington community hospital. What great news for him to go to work with.

        Our family member has HD. Due to the disease he lost his job stocking shelves last week. We've been in despair. Now we have hope again! ❤️

        🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 Am really hoping something comes of this. I have cousins in their late 30's / early 40's, living in a hospice with the disease, and it's devastating for them and the whole family. It's too late for them, but let's hope this will give others their life back.

        As We Evolve Our Emotions Are Struggling For More Power In Our Life, As Fledglings We Often Turn Our Emotions In On Themselves. Being That There Is A Lot Of Negativity In Marriage And Child Rearing It Could Be That The More Powerful Emotions Of These Days Could Be Poisoning Us.

        We Have Already Proven That Stress, Fear And Depression Poison The Heart And Willpower Of Individuals So What Can Hyper-Regret Do. Heightened Depressed Emotions Can Cause Cardiomyopathy And Take Its Victim With A Broken Heart So I Would Give Other Bands Of Negative Emotion Power

        We Have Known For Some Time That Intangible Emotions Can Tangibly Have Negative Effects So We Need To Interview Patients For The Negative Emotions Associated With Brain Degeneration Which I Would Blame Feelings Of Regret Either For Oneself Or All Too Silently For Someone Else..

        I'm sorry for your loss. My mom is currently in a nursing home due to HD. My grandfather suffered from it as well before he passed. This news yesterday has the possibility of helping me and my kids in such an amazing way.
