A member asked:
I had a test for huntingtons disease in 1995 it was negative how accurateis this result i now suffer with rls and memory loss im 43?

No test is 100% but: Huntington's testing is considered to be very accurate and has increased in accuracy over the years - so you might want a newer assessment. An article (see comment) may help reassure you. Rls and memory loss are much more common conditions and should not be considered signs of huntington's especially in the presence of negative testing. They may be hard to correct, but some do find relief. Best!
