    Thanks. I am only doing what I think is right to help people see hope. I make a holiday graphic every season. Christmas is my favourite time of the year. I hope she can get out of the phase. Denile is no good. You have to face it sooner or later though.

    Most people with HD need sleeping pills. I am on Trazodone. It helps me sleep.

    Heather,
    I am wondering if insomnia is a HD symptom and do you have it?
    Mainly I actually sleep about every third night.Most patients don't comment or they take meds and cannot tell.
    Anyway just curious and wide awake.Best Wishes

    Heather,keep on being yourself. I came out of the sixties and it
    is people such as you that shine where others are afraid to. Never ever be anything but who you are.No one can take that away.

    Thanks for the comment Heather. My family seems to be in some serious denial. When asked though I tell them to live as though they don't have it. I learned of haveing HD after my forties,and yes I've lived one hell of a life. Would've done things any different? Who knows?Who cares? My life is far from over and each
    day is a gift to be enjoyed.

     For your neice:

     Accept HD. We have it. We see it. The only way to accept is to see. Accept that you or your loved ones are getting sicker. Accept it. HD is an illness that affects the whole family. Open your eyes and see what is going on. That is the only way to be at peace. Peace and harmony is your life. Being in denial won’t help a person get there. Don’t hide. You can’t be happy living in fear. You can’t be happy being scared. You don’t have to be afraid any more. Accept HD. Everyday I accept the fact that I am getting sicker. I am going to get sicker. We are all getting sicker. We just don’t have to die anymore. Not with the solid research that is here. By me accepting HD. I have moved on and live my life. It feels good to get out of denial. Get right out.
