Home Support/ Watch Out For M

My Lucky looks so cute. I am going to put of pictures of his little

haircut. The woman did show dogs for years. She worked on our

Lucky. I am still a bit scared of getting home support. I have a huge

 problem remembering my morning meds. Most of my problems are

memory. I work on Monday. The life alert is something I wear.

 I hope my meds work. My Dad is going to pay for our home

support. Thank you Dad. Especially now me and Trevor can’t get

benefits. The excepect him to look after me. They don’t realize how

tough it is.  I am having big changes now. I have to accept this. We

will all get sick. We are sick. The difference is that we will get

cured. There is nothing greater than the knowledge. Run that

through you head. We are going to be saved. Our lives will belong to

us. Never lose hope for our future. We will get there. It may

take awhile. It will be worth it. We can get there. We can have our

 dreams come true. It will happen. Never give up hope. I have to

warn anyone in an online support group. There is a woman know as

M. She was banned in some of the other groups. She is in the at risk

one. I go in all of the groups. I help people that are in crisis.

They need so bad. I answered a girl who is scared of HD. Helped her.

I don’t want to repeat what she said.


Everyone reacts differently to the results - whether the results are

 

positive or negative.  Some people are better able to handle

 

hearing that they are gene positive; others react negatively to

 

hearing they're gene positive (turning to alcohol/drugs, lashing

 

out at others, trying or successful committing suicide); and others

 

have a different reaction to even testing negative (especially if

 

other family members have tested positive or are still at-risk). 

 

You'll never truly know how you'll react until you get the

 

results...some are willing to take that chance and others are

 

perfectly fine living with their status as being unknown. 

She made everyone on there more afraid of HD. This really bugs me.

 

We have the highest suicide rate for any illness. We already have

 

people terrified. Why would someone make it worse? This is the

 

reason I am fight for your right for hope. Your right for a future. Don’t

 

listen to her. We not need to fear HD. It is not bad at all. If you are

 

scared. Think of the possible future. Getting diagnosis of HD does

 

not change our life. Still live. Still fight. I am in home support and

 

still telling you it’s going to be fine. Don't let anyone tell you

 

anything but the hope that we can have. Never lose sight of how

 

impotant every life is. Our lives are important.
