poor memory or huntington's disease?

poor memory or huntington's disease?

seem to have alot of the symptoms for huntington's disease, i asked a friend of mine whos in med school and she said i'm too young to have them, and that neither of my parents had them so the chances of me having it now are very slim, but if i do it would show up when i'm 40-50.


sometimes i forget where i am, where i was going, what i was doing and should be doing, i easily lose track of time, and i have a terrible sense of directions resulting in a few close calls in my childhood. suffice to say i simply forgets everything the instant i hear them, no matter how hard i tried, i could never do well in school. i keep forgetting people's names/confused them.

even in daily life, i had to use a PDA to put up remainders and makes notes of things of interest or i'll forget all about them, sometimes i would forget how to get to work or the route to my buddy's pub, even though i've been going there for years.

i have had a mild deperession back in 2004 when i was 18 and i took some anti depressant for about half a year and recovered. my father had parkinsons but it didn't kill him.

so do you guys think i have huntington's disease?
