Hand tremor is a commonly visual symptom. It's not an earthquake its just

Parkinson's Disease, is the way a person with one of the common symtoms may

describe how they feel.



The word "tremor" is a very common word to anyone living in an earthquake prone

areas although it is probably more common amongst the community of people living

with Parkinson's Disease . Tremors present themselves as a slight twitching up

to full outright shaking. Often beginning in either side of the body, although

rare, it may be present in both.



Tremors are an uncontrollable symptom among the numerous symptoms that afflict

each individual Parkinson's Disease patient differently. These movements may

begin showing up in the fingers, hands, arms, toes, feet, legs and any other

muscle of the body. These irregular muscle movements are a direct reflection of

the battle in the neurons of the brain between dopamine and protein. In the

previous article it was noted how these two neuron-chemicals are essential to

much of the brain's processing of information. Tremors are directly related to

this unbalanced.



"When a person has Parkinson's disease, their dopamine-producing cells begin to

die and the amount of dopamine produced in the brain decreases. Messages from

the brain telling the body how and when to move are therefore delivered more

slowly, leaving a person incapable of initiating and controlling movements in a

normal way",is the way the National Parkinson's Foundation officially defines

what causes tremors.



Tremors are treated in several ways depending on the individual with Parkinson's

Disease. There are multiple medicines, exercises and deep brain stimulation.

Although in the early stages of treatment there can be impressive results,

eventually the benefits fade causing a need to change treatments. In upcoming

articles all of these treatment topics will be reviewed.

Has anyone ever heard of  Gamma Knife Surgery?



I had it on both sides at different times to obliterate the tremors of 

Parkinsons Disease.   Along with my meds, I no longer have a tremor.  I will be

blad to answer any questions about this.  (RW)
