Please could you let me know in your experiences what the most common early/ first symptoms of HD are? Thanks again for your responses to my posts.

How many years in advance do those type of symptoms tend to start before the physical symptoms? Thank you!!

Unfortunately the more I learn about HD the more I understand that each case is so different. My husband started feeling off-balance a couple of years after some of the very early psychological symptoms started. But he still has very little physical symptoms (stil biking, snowboarding, kayaking etc.) every case is very different though...

Ray's first physical symptoms were little like twitches in his fingers, and he'd make noises when he was relaxing or watching TV (almost like grunting noises, but not really a grunt) . . . if that makes sense.
