My daughters speech and tremors fluctuate every day and sometimes throughout the day.

My husband we just diagnosed with PD but in the very early stages. He has tremors mostly when at rest but it's worst when under stress so maybe it depends on your situation or how you are feeling at the time. His voice is also a little weaker but not interferring with anything yet.

Hi, I have resting tremors, on and off, not constant! Definately when under stress i get the shakes. I have tried meditation when i have these tremors, and it helps a lot, i try to put myself into a state of deep relaxation. Pd is not consistant, the symptoms can change and fluctuate from one symptom to another

This is why they say Parkinson's is unique to each person. My tremor is constant. Never stops except when I'm sleeping.

Hi Sandi, yes I would say so. I've had PD 15yrs now, the first signs were a tremour in my right hand and now at times both hands are as bad. Even as I write this comment I'm battling with the keyboard always correcting myself. As for the speech part I can go for quite long periods of time with no speech problems and then almost out of the blue I need to inform the Speech Therapist, at the moment I'm having a few volume problems and occaisional swallowing problems so I will seek help and you must too.Wishing you well and stay strong but most of all take care, dirk

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
