Great huntingdon disease talk about new therapy and treatments:
""""One of the most exciting applications of CRISPR is in the treatment of genetic diseases. By using CRISPR to make precise changes to DNA, scientists can potentially cure or prevent diseases caused by faulty genes. This includes diseases like sickle cell anemia, cystic fibrosis, and Huntington's disease."

Teva Announces FDA Approval for Austedo-XR Last week, Teva Pharmaceuticals received FDA approval for Austedo XR for treatment of chorea in people with HD and people with Tardive Dyskenesia (TD). AUSTEDO® (deutetrabenazine) was initially approved by the FDA in April of 2017. This drug, called a VMAT-2 inhibitor, interferes with how dopamine messages are passed between neurons in the brain to reduce symptoms of chorea in people with HD. Austedo XR is an extended-release formulation of the same drug. This means that people prescribed Austedo will have the option of taking the drug only once per day instead of twice per day, which could make treatment adherence easier.

We are grateful for all of those who came before us, paving the way to where we are now. We are grateful for those who continue to fight for treatments and therapies for us, and not giving up. We are grateful for boots on the ground like Factor-H, who continue to help some of the most under served community members.

HD info from people who talk about what it takes to deal with for other:
"Katrina Hamel joins Lauren Naomi for our 2nd episode of HD Uncut, and she doesn't hold back at all!

She was a child in a home where HD wasn’t talked about, had children before she knew she was at-risk, battled resentment to eventually care for her mom. Discussed the differences between caring for her mom who was unmedicated/unwilling to seek help, and her brother, who is quite opposite.

Random request! Not sure if there are any card writers out there!? (FEEL FREE TO SHARE! 🤍)

For those of you who don’t know me/my story, Huntingtons Disease runs in our family. My grandfather passed away at 48, my mom 38, and my sister recently at 28. I have a younger brother (25) who is in a facility in NJ who also has Huntingtons. He was unable to be with family or at the funeral for my sister this past week. I know he gets pretty lonely and family tries to visit him at least once a month (but it’s only a 1-2 hour visit).

If anyone would be willing to write him an encouraging note w/ some scriptures, I would greatly appreciate it 🤍. He really has such a sweet heart, but Huntingtons has really caused so much pain (emotionally, physically, etc).

This is the last photo I have with him from July 2021 since we’re unable to take our phones in where he is 🤍
