HI, I am a 35 yr old white male. I have a twin sister and she is having some shaking problems. We both have some shaking in the hands, mine I know is from caffine. A few days ago she started shaking in her arms, and it worsened when she stood and closed her eyes. Her arms dont shake all the time, but I am very worried about her shaking. We both smoke, drink in moderation and occasionally use over the counter diet pills. The arm jerking and shaking is what is really bothering me. Any of you have any ideas? Thanks to you all
Thanks very much for the reply. The "rigidity" that I am referring to is definitely even on both sides. You've provided me with a little more sanity to get me to the neurology consultation. Thanks again.
My father has had pd for 8 years and it started much the same way. Wo noticed first, that he shook on one side when he painted. It only affects one side. Good luck.
Doesn't sound like a typical case of PD, which is classically characterized by a tremor in the resting position, rigidity (but not in the joints), slowness of movement and imbalance. Cogwheel rigidity is a finding on the physical examination that is hard (or near impossible)to pick up on yourself. Best of luck at your upcoming appointment.
I apologize for the horrendous grammar in my original question. I did a very bad job of quickly editing my question once I realized that I went way over the character limit.
Thanks very much!
