Default Wilson's Disease

Thanks for the detailed responses.

Davos - Hopefully you don't have PD. Although patients don't usually present after 40 years, Wilson's Disease is another one to check. It's any easy test but unlikely because of your age, but hey, my neuro said it was unlikely I had Parkinson's because I was 30...

Wilson's disease or hepatolenticular degeneration is an autosomal recessive disorder, with a male preponderance. Its main feature is accumulation of copper in tissues, which manifests itself with neurological symptoms and liver disease.
Good luck,
Robert
