This is to bring to your kind notice that,there is some genetic problem[HD] in my family,due to which many of our sisters have died,many kids are widout there fathers and mothers,many of our suffering females were left for dying,by their husband"s,when this huntington"s disease captured them. So,as I along with my technical Education ,used to read a lot about this disease,i came to know that ,we cant stop the disease,but can slower down the rate ny which it spreads,and can also controll the movements of the previously suffering persons. so at this stage, 1male age 35(totally bed ridden,no movements,v rigid,hands are in u shape and body stusture is drooping,cnt sit etc), 1 female 24 can do her regular activities but a lot of unwanted hand and whole body movements, 1 kid, 13 years male,(gone for genetic work up-hd) in the test hd has been detected,but till date he is perfectly fine.,normal like we people// now i i want the maximum support from pgi neuro team,so dat the bed ridden can be improved ,and the female"s movements could be controlled, and the child can be given suitable medicine to prevent him from this hd ,so far as possible!!! our family is in great trouble,have written this mail,with tears in my ryes,hoping for a favourable response!! thanking you
