Case Study: Heather Alimossy (Huntington's disease)

Heather is one of the people in the movie "Alive and Well" about Huntington's disease.  Her mother and her brother both have Huntington's so she was screened for Huntington's disease at age 19 and she has the gene for it.  She has not begun to show symptoms yet but she is preparing her life for the symptoms to come.  I think this is an interesting position to be in, to know the effects of the disease is coming but to be healthy now.  Her goals will need to be preparatory methods in order to decrease the effects of the disease and symptoms.
