I've just finished reading The Expanse series of books by James S A Corey. It's a great read and I definitely recommend it, especially if you like sci-fi with a little horror. The TV show is fantastic too.
I'm thinking of reading the Hyperion Cantos series by Dan Simmons next. I've also heard good things about The Remembrance of Earth's Past series by Cixin Liu (first book is The Three-Body Problem). Has anyone got any other sci-fi/horror recommendations?

Life is hard enough when you've got a terminally expanding hole in your brain thanks to Huntington's Disease. It was invaluable having support from my family (before I was unexpectedly divorced).

Facing the darkness each day is difficult enough with HD even when you've got a good support network.

This is some interesting news. A study has found that people recently vaccinated against tetanus are less likely to be diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease (PD) later in life. This suggests that an infection with tetanus bacteria could be one of the possible triggers involved in the condition. Additional work is planned to understand this situation further.

Here is a fantastic message from the Huntington's Disease Association (HDA) raising money and awareness for HD families. This is the summary:
"Alison Steadman presents an appeal on behalf of the Huntington’s Disease Association, a charity that works to support anyone affected by the disease, from entire families to employers and healthcare professionals."
