Went to the Dr's about my heart!

I don't even remember if I mentioned to you gals about my Niece on my dh's side of the family who was diagnosed with Huntingtons desease last year at age 18. And was given about 5 years to live a normal life. Maybe?

Woody Guthrie had Huntingtons

If it is a once-a-day pill, you can take it at night, about 30 minutes before bed time. That will help the sleepiness work to your advantage.

There's nothing wrong with talking to your doctor about the side effects. I wish more people would! And I wish more doctors would listen!

Depending on the medication, it may be perfectly okay to not take the full dosage and/or not take it every day. Other medications are best taken regularly and in the full amount, but if you can't tolerate the side effects, there may be other choices. Talk to your doctor!

I am taking half right now and it is much better. I don't feel like I just downed a 6 pack in 10 minutes! My Dr also talked about a beta blocker as well. I will see how things go with this.
