What signs of tremor do people have in the moderate phases of Parkinson's?
The tremor may become more persistent, or increase in amplitude, be more prevalent during the course, and a bit more troubling to people as time goes by. But we're talking about years in the course of Parkinsons Disease. So just a more persistently present tremor, and maybe a bit more conspicuous to people, and troubling to them, as well. People may notice the tremor when they're just out for dinner with their friends. It's not that tense a situation, but people are socially on, and alert, and even during happy moments, the tremor may become more apparent. When people are watching the Super Bowl, and are energized and rooting for their team, the tremor may become more apparent. People who are giving public presentations, or at work and speaking before a group of people, they may not be nervous. This may be something that they've been doing for years. But all of us, when we're talking to a group, are on, and anticipating the situation. The adrenaline levels go up a bit. In that circumstance, people do have increase of tremor, at least temporarily. When the situation is over, things calm down and the tremor will subside again.
