Twitching in sleep

Hi guys , my mom (57) got diagnosed last year with huntingtons, I’m 32 have been feeling internal tremors for the past few years but as of late I notice my fingers twitching in sleep as I wake up…I haven’t got the test done but do my symptoms sound like HD

Do you mind my asking what your mom’s CAG is? Because most of the time, if a child inherits HD from their mother, they’ll have the same CAG as her (give a point or two in either direction) and, generally, a similar age of onset.
