pipeline stent and huntington's disease
 
Hi, it's been a while and a long road. I won't go into all of my history but a few weeks ago was told I have a 4 mm brain aneurysm and yesterday told I have Huntington's disease although the aneurysm is an incidental finding. Some 6months after a fall I developed severe vertigo,vomitting, gait disorders cognition problems tinnitus, fullness in ear, chronic fatigue, irritability and so on. After numerous specialist I went to Mayo. I am scheduled for the pipeline in a couple of weeks. I would love to hear from anyone who has gone through this procedure.

The HD diagnosis was very unexpected but came after the above. I haven't seen anything on this site on HD. Has anyone else as it it a neurological disease. Just an fyi' my cag is 36 which seems low for a diagnosis. My other post will offer more info.

During this time I have been diagnosed with meniere's, bppv and cognitive testing confirmed slow mental processing and a line convergence problem.

Input will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Mike-

Thank you so much. It's been a long, long road. HD is not a nice disease but I still have doubts about the diagnosis. For some reason it has overshadowed the aneurysm in my mind. I had a low cag count and so many of my symptoms could be related to vestibular issues. It's the uncertainty that I am feeling and that can really get to you.
Thanks,
Mike
