I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease nearly 11 years ago.  And for all that time, tremor has never been a problem for me.  Every now and then, just a dab in my right thumb, maybe my forefinger.

Today is Christmas.  I was just settling down to plow through a delicious prime rib sammich, when all of a sudden my right hand starts shaking.  Also my left hand.  They don’t shake all the time, as you’ll see in the video.

From what I can see in the available literature, tremor can and often does get worse in the later stages of the disease.  I took a Stalevo 100 about 45 minutes ago, and I’m not noticing any change.

Let’s hope this is just a temporary glitch, and not a Christmas Gift I’ll Always Remember!
