Huntington's chorea one horrible ill
There's no curative treatment or pill
Science does research all fails
Some to no avail
Man can't cure
Still
I'm sure
Of sunrise, boat's sails
A new day offers details
Of a treatment, not a living will

Huntington's Disease is a brain disease caused by an abnormal protein that accumulates in the brain. This diseased protein interferes in the neurons making connection in the brain to carry out necessary thought process and movement. It can come on even in early childhood to late age and last from a few years to a very long time. The family who lives with this hanging over their head goes through the turmoil as well as the person who has the illness.
This is Andrea Dietrich's form but I can't remember the name of it.
I really like the carebears I really think that this hurricane everything will be alright. I know
a lot of people and am popular. I know a lot of people. I live off of social security. I have
a brain disease. I take care of it good.
