Hi all, On Wed, 29 Dec 1999, the digest contained: > From: Debbie White <[log in to unmask]> > Subject: Wilson Disease > > In coming up with a diagnosis, was anyone tested for Wilson disease? Thanks. > > Debbie White > [log in to unmask] Way, way back in 1995 -- when my symptoms first started catch- ing my attention -- the first neurologist I went to (out of 4 :-( ) tested for this disease first. He told me that it was rare but that it's symptoms were almost identical to the ones I was ex- hibiting. If I remember correctly, the test involved checking for abnor- mally high levels of copper in the liver ... I think. Here's a link I found -- among several related links for other disorders that have similar symptoms on my Web site -- that talks a little about Wilson's Disease: http://wemove.org/wil.html Take care ...
