I have lots of problems with my older, brother. He is 37 years old and has been having some movements problems lately. Afetr the doctor, he became quiet, but annoying. I found that my brother suspect of huntington, has anger and irritability issue now. Can I help him? Should I be concerned for my health?
Huntington is not easy to deal with. Just think about it - what would you feel if someone comes to you and say that you have an illness that will make you loose your motoric functions (will not even mention the intellectual abilities). So you see, it is as if you are all saying good bye to a person he is now, because slowly, he will become a patient fully dependant on you. If you have thoughts about your health, a visit to a doctor might help.
