Five More Years and HD

Luckily, not many people can say they know what it feels like to be given an expiration date on their lives. We all know it could happen at any time, and we hope that it doesn't for a long time. But being given a prognosis and a deadline is very hard. In my particular situation, I don't know specifics. Based on the experiences of others I have heard from, my body might not die for another 30 years or more. Obviously that is a good long time. Unfortunately, for me, this isn't the only deadline. There is another concern.

My brain is going to start dying much sooner than my body. MUCH. This disease can last for 20 years from the first symptoms. I know of people that start having symptoms at 30.
