Anyone had Huntingtons disease?

We Answered:

I haven't had it, but I can tell you that the symptoms will present at middle age. In terms of the symptoms, I have a fair idea and they include stuff like premature senility, and problems walking. But a definitve source is Wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huntington%…

I've had a look and signs and symptoms are on the site.

I'm sorry for your situation and your Grandmother. I can imagine that it is very difficult for you. You might want to consider talking to a professional about your feeling and fears. It may help you, then agaon it may not. Good luck.

Huntington's disease Symtoms clear?

We Answered:

The first question is:
Do either of your parents have HD? This is passed on from an HD positive parent.

My mother has Huntington's so I have am "at risk" (50/50) for the disease.
However, I went through genetic testing last month and was found to be negative for the gene. WOOO HOOO!!

I felt before the testing that I had all of the signs of HD. The twitching, major memory loss issues, my handwriting was getting poor and I have a constant clearing of my throat.

So if one of your parents has it and you are showing sypmtoms it does NOT mean that you have it. Only genetic testing will tell you for sure.
Good luck!
