“You can’t cure or slow the progression of Huntington disease, but health care providers can offer medications to help with certain symptoms.   As Huntington disease progresses, you will need constant assistance and supervision because of the debilitating nature of the disease. People usually die from the disease within 15 to 20 years of developing symptoms.  If you have been diagnosed with, or are at risk for Huntington disease, it is critical to maintain your physical fitness as best you can. People who exercise regularly and stay active tend to do better than those who don’t.  A number of studies are currently under way to examine possible therapies for Huntington disease.”
