my mom died last July due to huntingtons malnutrition,she was only 80-85lbs when she died of a severe ecoli/and pneumonia/sepsis. she didn't have anything left and could not fight,and her pneumonia turned into MRSA.She was perfectly fine 3 days prior to being this sick..talking to me telling me she is ok. two days later when I was supposed to pick her up on july 1st, she was found in her apartment slipping into a coma from septic shock.....she used meth to subside the hunger in her body,and feelings.....she was such a good mom/grandmother/friend...RIP-Rhonda Francis-We love you to the moon and back-

I'm so sorry for your loss.
My husband was able to get into a clinical trial Dr. Sung lead at UAB. Even though the trial ended abruptly, it is coming back in a different way but my husband doesn’t qualify. I know without a doubt that we are heading towards end stage. I’m glad Dr. Sung follows my husband’s care.

It's very hard to see someone that was so active and this disease takes everything away from them My bro inlaw has Huntington's and to see the way he was and what he has become.its very hard for my sister she is very supportive of him. He has 4 daughters and the chance for them to have this heredity disease is 50/50 He only found out 5 years ago that he had HDat the age of 49 and it has been downhill ever since He has gone from being independent and hard working to being reliant on his wife and kids for everything from feeding to bathing Sad so sad His eldest daughter gets married this weekend and that is the only 1 he will see getting married The way he is deteriorating He won't see another year. 😥😥😥😥😥

Some people have a more severe and faster, earlier developing form, Huntingtons occurs due to too many copies of a specific gene, over 40, but some have higher numbers, it usually occurs younger and faster for those.
