Huntington's Chorea
Huntington's chorea, more commonly known as Huntington's disease, is a disease that causes nerve cells in the brain to break down over a long period of time, causing the victim to slowly loose the ability to speak, swallow, move and eventually breathe. It is chronic and can last for a life time.
No cure exists for this terrible brain disease, but treatment can help manage some symptoms. Treatment options could range from things such as medical prescription drugs, physiotherapy and speech therapy. You could also visit specialists like a Neurologist, Psychiatrist, Primary Care Provider (PCP), or Medical Geneticist. Other then this, the deadly disease is incurable.
