Re: [One Big Huntingtons Family] Re: Huntingtons Advice Please

hi

give me your honest opinion though do you think that i have HD?
is it almost impossible to get it with no family history? and you would know
wouldnt you if there was a family history of the disease and it does not run in
mine as HD is an inherited disease you can only inherit it right? otherwise you
cant get it?
i though HD was diagnosed by MRI brain scan or something.
I have been ill with depression for the last 4 months, i have had 2 lots of blod
tests done and it was all ok, do you have to have a special blood test for HD?
surely its no found in a normal blood test?
i have been forgetful lately what sort of forgetful do you have when early
symptoms of HD arrive? my forgetfulness isnt too bad only alittle.
I do have sudden twitchy movements for 1 second but i wouldnt say that ws HD
would you?
apart from that i dont really have any symptoms.
I doubt my doc would let me ge tested for HD as there is no family history if
both sets of my grandparents are i their 60's and dont have HD and my parents
are both 42 and dont have HD does that mean that there is no family history of
it? my parents couldnot get HD either could they?
I got diagnosed with anxiety and depression and from my understanding them 2
things can cause twitching shaky hands and loads of othe symptoms, the doc said
they could not find anything wrong with me after 2 urine tests, 2 full blood
tests and an ECG

Hope to hear back from you soon.

If you did have HD, then it would show up in your blood work. A brain scan has nothing to do with it. The disease normally progresses for 10-15 years. It...
