My Grandmother, father, uncle & sister all have HD
Testing positive to the gene change has pushed me to do alot of the things I had either put in the 'too hard' or 'ill do it later' bin. This has given me alot of happiness and sucess. I have chosen to take the test results as information for the future, however I do manage to extract the most out of anything Im involved with/in currently.
My Grandmother has just recently passed, due to HD she battled with it for most of my life. In the earlier days it was diagnosed as dementia, however since pre emptive testive has be available it was later diagnosed as HD.
This sparked my father (55) to have the testing, he showed a positive test in 1998. It wasnt untill 2007 he told me about the testing or the possible risks my sister and I could be exposed to.
I then had my testing in early 07 then my older sisted undertook the testing in later 07.
