May is Huntington's Disease Month
Huntington's is like having dementia, ALS and Parkinsons all at the same time. It is incurable.
In a HD family a spouse may end up as caregiver for their spouse, several in-laws then their children. Each birth in that family has a 50% chance of being HD positive.

The Human Genome Project has mapped the HD gene abnormalities. There is promising research for a treatment of the disease to interrupt its onset.
Woody Guthrie died of HD. His first wife founded HDSA.
