New Years Address

This my New Years address. We have lots of hope from this year.
Lots of treatments. Lots of new possible cures. We should take
stock in knowing this. Every year brings us closer to real
breakthroughs in medicine. Instead of thinking of all the negative
things a New Year brings focus on the positive. This year could be
the one year where we do have a cure. A hundred percent working
cure. A real chance for a future without HD. That will come soon. I
do believe that this year brings nothing but good things for all of us.
Just believe and we will succeed. Let’s this year bring us hope in
ten folds. This year will be a year of big advancements. We deserve
to have a cure. New treatments we deserve too. Soon we will have
them. Just have faith. Everything will come in due time. Just take life
for everything it is worth this year.

Reason for Hope

Happy new Year Everyone. We need a reason for hope. We need a
reason to fight for our lives. We always have reasons to fight.
Sometimes we don’t know they are there. The reasons we are
fighting for are things like having a better life. We all need that
reason. We all need a better quality life. We can fight every for
ounce of that. Just fight for healthy mental health. We need that
one especially. The mental and physical are connected. Without
balancing both we are hopeless. What are your reasons to fight?
We need them especially if you are sick and want to make a
positive change in your life. Every minute of everyday fight HD with
me.

Afraid

One of the things I am afraid of HD taking away my brains. I am
slowly losing everything now. I tried to devolpe my brain and
knowledge. Now I am slowly losing all of it. I can feel my brains
slowly disappearing. I used to be able to figure out Smallvile or any
movies in 15 minutes or less. Now I can’t. I have not been able to in
a month. This dementia slowly creeping on me. Whenever I am
making a graphic or a page on here, it is the only thing I feel I can
still do a hundred percent. The thing that makes me hopeful
thought out this disease progression is the fact I believe a hundred
percent that we will be cured. I believe too that we will have good
treatments too. There is lots of hope to be found all over the place.
We have to believe in able to succeed when we are sick and losing
everything that we hold dear. Simple belief is doing me wonders.
Everything has to get better and brighter.

Laugh at yourself

When I am tired I do notice that my HD symptoms get worse.
Yesterday was one of those days. I was wearing my eye glasses and
tried to put on my sunglasses without knowing that they were on.
Some days my husband has to cut everything for me. I was extra
twitchy too. Last night was the only good sleep I have had all week.
It I so important that we get a good sleep. When all of this is
happening I laugh it off. Bringing some humor in can do wonders to
make you laugh and not take anything seriously. Laughter is the
best medicine. It can heal any wound. Sometimes when I am not
doing well my husband will cheer me up. All of things he does to
make me laugh, make it all lot easier. Just laugh. That’s one of the
good things that we can do that can heal any wound.

A Fight for a Future

Lately I have been having a symptom that is like drowning for me. It
feels like sniffing pool water in my nose. It is really weird feeling. It
has been happening for a week now. It is not a fun feeling at all. I
am struggling well .We have to just simply live the best way we can.
I big part is accepting the HD. That is not an easy thing to do. If you
do accept as part of your life, you can live in sweet peace and
harmony. It is a beautiful place that I am in everyday. Everyone can
get there. Takes a lot of work. We are all just strong and brave. We
can fight anything we want to. We can have pure joy.
