Kind of a crazy question but so is all of this HD stuff. I'm having blood drawn for a regular checkup next week and was wondering if there is anything I should point them towards. I know my D3 is low and B but is there anything we may be deficient in with HD.
Thanks,
Mike

I don't think so. Atleast we have never been told, and my husband's bloodwork has always been normal.
Besides, the people drawing the blood are likely not those responsible for analyzing it.

This isn't HD related, but you might have them check for testosterone. I turned up with "Low T" several years ago and have been on AndroGel ever since. It did a world of good for my energy levels. I also had had an unexplained weight loss of about 10 pounds, which I really didn't need. It came back after I started therapy. My doc's theory was that low T was affecting my metabolism.
