Hey. My dad has Huntington's. I got tested when I was 18 too, because the uncertainty was so much worse. I had to put my parents into an assisted living facility when I was 22, since my mom was diagnosed with dementia too. It fucking sucks, man.

I found that the people who work at the facility really do sympathize and care, and that they'll do what they can to help you. I hope they work out a system for you.

Mostly just wanted to say hi, because this disease makes me feel so isolated, but- how was your testing experience? They gave me such a hard time because I was so young. Did you have any issues?

My younger brother is addicted to prescription opiates. He's gone to rehab, and he's doing an outpatient program. He lives with me. We get into a lot of fights, and there's a lot of resentment on both sides, even though we both care about each other. What can I do to help him? Is there anything you wished your parents would do / would stop doing? Alternatively, was there anything that anyone did that really helped you / is helping you?
