| | Wilson's disease - OhioHealth |
 | | Children with the disease are sometimes misdiagnosed as having behavioral problems because they behave erratically or perform poorly in school. | | | Copper is one of the body's unsung heroes, playing a key but understated role in the development of healthy nerves, bones, collagen and the skin pigment melanin. | | | If you do have signs of the disease — difficulty speaking, problems with balance, tremors in your arms and hands, abdominal pain or yellowing of your skin — see your doctor right away. |
