How very sad. I so hope he is able to get the care he deserves. To be so young and suffering with such is very sad indeed.
I wish him health and strength in 2012.

@ScrewHeaven you are right, however, overtreatment with trientine also causes worsening of symptoms as what my son experienced, so be very watchful of the length of treatment with trientine, usually 6 months and then switched or continued with zinc gluconate. My son's symptoms got better after he was stopped on trientine (he was on it for 1 year). He now takes zinc gluconate

@BarryAirdrieFromDaUK Penicillamine causes more neurologic side effects as compared to the other chellating agent trientine. However, even with trientine, if treated longer than necessary, neurologic conditions worsens. My son has WD and had such experience. He is now on Zinc Gluconate and symptoms are getting better. The only cure is liver transplant.

@nastyriz Wilson's disease has no cure, but with adequate treatment most of its simptons can be stoped. For more details see the Wilson's Disease Association (WDA) site.

@Arabova159 Wilson's Disease is a disorder in which the body is unable to properly metabolize copper. It falls under the neurological category of movement disorders. However, unlike Parkinson's and Huntington's, it is not a progressive degeneration of neurons. It is classified as a movement disorder because one of the key symptoms is dystonia, or abnormal jerks. If you're really curious, the book "Newton's Madness: Further tales of Clinical Neurology" has a a story about it. It's worth reading.

Great video!! My cousin was diagnosed with WD 5 yrs ago. He has been aggressive on treatments from early rollercoaster copper chleations to being finally stable with Zinc only. He was on Galzin for 3 yrs, but Galzin gave him nausea, upset & vomiting. He had switched to Gluzin/Zinc Gluconate 6 months ago, and has tested normal with no more upset GI. I have been taking Gluzin as a precaution, since WD possibilities are high. Gluzin is the recommended generic Zinc OTC by the WDA.

i have wilson's disease =[. It sucks but if you treat it early you'll be fine. I'm currently failing school because of it and going through mass depression because of it.
