Positive for Huntington's Disease

During #HuntingtonsDisease Awareness Month, Yousef Gamal El-Din speaks about the devastating illness in detail for the first time. It’s the untold story of the pain, the struggle and the green shoots of hope.
Yousef’s mother was diagnosed with the disease in 2007. Over the years, HD took its toll on the entire family. And now Yousef is at a 50% risk of inheriting Huntington’s disease and seeing the same fate as his mother.

I promise you this - I will press on for prioritized consideration that leads to a Huntingtons disease cure. This cure disease needs to be taken down. Thank you for sharing how beautiful and important your mother was. IN HER MEMORY AND HER SISTERS NAME TOO - we need to find a cure TODAY.

I nursed an absolutely lovely lady who sadly passed away from Huntington's Chorea in1984.It's a horrendous disease and she left both her parents,her husband and her two children.

You are extremely brave and gracious.as a nurse I have cared for patients with HD and I know what a treacherous disease it is .I pray that God will give your family the strength to deal with whatever difficulties you have to face.❤️

[@benjaminperez1149]

You sons and your dear father sacrificed for your mother. It is a bittersweet story yet, needs to be told. God bless you all.

[@Qstudioz1]

We all need to tell our story, no one can see it from what we go through so we have to spread awareness

Thank you so much for your words and for your love.

[@lindaguy8720]

I am from a family with huntingtons. I have researched everything I can find on it. After taking care of my brother I know that making a decision to end one life should be an option . This is one of the most cruel diseases that could ever happen to anyone. I'm 73 thankfully I'm ok so far but I still have that chance but I may be to old to recognize the sytoms

[@Iobotomite]

I have 5 family members with Huntingtons disease. It is devastating to see how it completely changes them mentally and physically. My Grandma is now in the final stages of Huntingtons. Her health has deteriorated so much. Thank you for this video.

[@breathlessinbedvlogs]

My granny had this horrific disease. It eventually took her life. She was 62. My dad has it though he is not symptomatic yet, he just turned 54. It spared my aunt. I've known that myself and two siblings each have a 50% chance of inheriting this disease since I was 13 but it did not stop me from having children, in fact I became a young mom. My dad became a grampa. All I remember of my granny was the chorea and being uncomfortable around her. I have three young children and it is simply unfathomable to me to even consider what their risk is, though it is with me every moment of every day. This disease is ruthless. In an instant, everyone you love either had it, has it or might have it. I pray peace to everyone in the hd community that our time will come where there is a cure.

[@desirula]

I know what you have gone through. Half on my mother’s siblings passed away from HD. We are from Venezuela where people say took origin when colonizers arrived to our shores. You’re a wonderful son!

[@katydid1600]

@katelinsmith2791 I would be too. I'm scared for you. Wish there was something we could do for you.

[@andrewforrester8386]

I'm from uk. It is genetic in my mom's side of the family. If my government can give military aid worth billions of pounds to countries that couldn't or wouldn't do the same for us, they can provide some money to research in finding more effective ways of treating huntington's disease.

[@katydid1600]

@andrewforrest Absolutely agree 100%

[@bernster511]

I am with you, my husband was diagnosed recently. My anger at my politicians is beyond measure. They also spend billions giving military aid to foreign countries while the people here in the USA are suffering. We need money for research & possibles cures or even help with Brian Deceases, food security, homelessness, and so much more. It's insane to me where they spend our tax dollars. God Bless you and your family ♥

[@andrewforrester8386]

@@bernster511 thanks for you reply. I am sorry to hear about your husbands diagnosis. I recently tested negative for it. I'm training to fight in a charity boxing match to raise money for the uk huntington's disease association

Did you make a test for yourself?

[@elizabethmiller5216]

I found a treatment as I have a young man who I visit because he has been like a brother to my sons since his mother was diagnosed with HD 30 years ago and now he is quite bad himself and in care. The trouble is that although I got a copy of a mouse's brain free almost except one black spot of the tangles of protein, they have taken it off the net. Does anyone want to try cat's claw a rain forest bark as it seemed to help but they just suggested it might help with Alzheimer's and of course the drug companies want to make it into a drug to justify the high charges. God always provides a solution in the flowers of the field as it says in the bible. The patient has rejected it perhaps because his mind is already affected according to the medical people and I can't force him to try it.

[@Live-life-to-the-fullest]

I wonder if he did a genetic test?
