I am not makeing lite of this at all,as it can be serious in some people,I have worked with folks with nervous problems so I take it in stride.Ive also wondered if I am developing some othe nervous thing like parkenston.

Definitely get it checked out.

Just to be clear...I DO NOT have Parkinson's. There are many people who do. There are many diseases that are not diagnosed correctly at the beginning and it can cause them to progress when they don't have to.

I have found with my shaking that people i am around a lot get, i suppose, used to it and don't notice it that much. People who i just meet, however, do notice it. Stress has a lot to do with it too.

You are on the right track. Take ownership of your symptoms and your body. Research, study and demand tests be done that you know would benefit you.

Good luck to you and keep us posted.
