Manage episode 376203483 series 3406993
Welcome back to another episode of Insightful Moments: My VIBE, presented by PTC Therapeutics. This is part 2 of host Paula Orandash at the 38th annual convention of the Huntington's Disease Society of America in New Orleans where she continues to speak with people who have been affected by Huntington's Disease, or HD. HD is an incurable neurodegenerative disease that affects many different areas of the brain. Symptoms can vary but usually involve a progressive breakdown of the patient’s behavior, mobility, speech, and motor symptoms, over the course of years or decades. Symptoms can really begin to appear at any age, though they most commonly start in adulthood. For this episode, you’ll hear from more people, whether it’s parents, children or other adults, who are impacted by the disease and learn what it’s like living with HD, as well as what it’s like being a caregiver of a loved one with HD. So join us for this insightful episode of Insightful Moments: My VIBE, brought to you by PTC Therapeutics.
