Is there any way to slow down HD?Y3 months ago6 people shared this0 comments

My mother has HD, along with one of my uncles and one of my aunts. My grandfather also had HD but he has passed on. I am unsure about having children because of this disease, and I am also unsure if i ever want to get tested, simply becuase of the emotional scars I have already undergone. So my question is this, if i were to have HD, what can i do RIGHT NOW in my life to help slow down the effects of this disease?
