Hi everyone! I just joined.Let me tell you about myself.My name is
Lori and I am 24 years old.I will be 25 in August.I have 2 beautiful
boys ages 3 and 7.My grandmother passed away 6-1-05 of this horrible
disease.She was 69.My mother may have it(God I pray she doesn't)
because she is starting to show some signs like balance problems and
such.Okay,one of my aunt's have it and we think another one may have
it.My great grandfather and great aunt(2-05) also passed away of this
too.Also 2 of my 2nd cousins have it.Anyhow,I got my blood drawn today
for Huntington Disease Genetic Testing and sent to a lab in Baylor
Texas.I am praying I don't have it but Deep down I know me and my mom
do.If it comes back positive then I know my mom has it since it
doesn't skip a generation.Then I worry about my children having it.My
mother and children are my world and don't want this to be true.Does
anyone know how long it takes to get test results back?I'm sorry to
ramble on but I need to talk to someone as my Husband just don't
understand.Please feel free to comment and/or e-mail me.Thanks!
