Anne Marie Has Huntington's Now Safe and Comfortable In Her Atlanta Chair

Anne Marie has Huntington's disease. For years she was sitting in a chair that wasn't suitable for her needs. While the chair may have been appropriate at some point, her involuntary movements meant that she was increasingly at risk from sliding or even falling from her chair. Her family would spend every hour of the day watching her closely as she would fall and injure herself.

Then Anne Marie's family found Seating Matters. The Seating Matters Atlanta was specifically designed by Martina Tierney Occupational Therapist to be a robust, durable chair which aims to be both safe and comfortable for those with Huntington's disease and similar conditions.*

Seating Matters are changing the world of healthcare seating.

At Seating Matters we design and manufacture world leading, therapeutic seating for adults and children.

They were designed by Martina Tierney, an Occupational Therapist with 30 years experience in seating patients.

Most people don't start symptoms until theyre 40-50. My Dad started in his late 30s. Ive had involuntary movements similar to Chorea since I was 12. I display many other symptoms and Im only 26. It only gets worse from here.
Edit: He died In Januray. He went peacefully surrounded by his loved ones.

انا وصديقتي غفران قمنا بإجراء بحث حول هنغنتون لأنه ليس شيء طبيعي لقد ترسخ في عقولنا لمده طويله وعندما رأينا هذا الفيديو استفدنا حقا لأن غدا لدينا اختبار رياضيات ولم ندرس ونحن توجيهي لكن هنغنتون أهم من كل شيء ولم نستسلم❤️‍🔥

Would THC lessen the uncontrollable movements?

What about a pelvic restraint? She is going to work her way down in this new chair. I know that in a care facility a pelvic restraint is not allowed but
those rules do not apply in the home. As with anyone in her condition she should never be alone and the restraint should be removed q 2hrs and examined for safety and comfort.

I don’t like this (I’m sorry) words..when seeing ill people... my mother have Huntington disease and I don’t like the feeling of pity ... would you like it when people feels pity towards you? Life is tough... we all have illness and problems that’s not something strange to feel pity about

[archangelraguel]

Dear Lord, why do things like this happen?😢 I just wish I knew. I often wonder about things like this, and then someone says God does not do this. God bless her🙏
