Leven met Huntington: betekenis vinden in het moment

Nieuws - Vereniging van Huntington

Soms voelt het leven met de ziekte van Huntington als proberen een vlinder te vangen in een storm. De symptomen (chorea, vermoeidheid, stemmingswisselingen en vergeetachtigheid) lijken de fragiele momenten van geluk telkens weer weg te blazen. Toch lukt het de Amerikaanse Huntingtonpatiënt Tanita Allen om steeds opnieuw de schoonheid in het alledaagse te vinden. “Ik heb geleerd om vreugde te creëren, zelfs in het kleinste gebaar.”

De ziekte van Huntington is een progressieve, erfelijke hersenaandoening die zowel het cognitieve, motorische als psychische functioneren aantast. Leven met Huntington betekent langzaam afscheid nemen van zekerheden, toekomstbeelden en vaak ook van zelfstandigheid. Maar het betekent niet dat het leven zijn betekenis verliest.
