and do you have to be old to have this disease? I think I'm showing early signs of it. :(

parkinson's disease does exhibit this symptom but don't presume it's the right diagnosis. many other health problems could be causing the uncontrollable shaking. the only way to know for sure is to visit your family doctor, or more specifically, a neurologist.

Though I don't have a degree in medicine, no one can answer this question better than a simple visit to your family doctor. Simple test's can be administered to determine and diagnose these symptoms. Though preliminary signs indicate a presence of Parkinsons desease, These may also be confused with a not so severe desease known as "Teret's Syndrome"(spelling may be off).. Again...Though alot of these answers indicate Parkinson's, your best bet would be a simple visit to your doctor's office for an accurate diagnosis. Now a day's there are various treatments which help people cope comfortably with deseases involving the nervous system. Best Wishes

It could be Parkinson's disease.
While Parkinson's usually only affects people over 50, younger people can get it. Actor Michael J. Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson's at the age of 30.
You should see your doctor.

Tremors - my father, and his sister as well as two of my sisters all suffer from the same thing. Often checked for Parkinson's - it was never diagnosed as such. The tremors were so bad that my Dad could not hold a coffee cup with one hand. They were just an inconvenience to him, not life threatening. Call the doctor and set your mind at ease, if it is Parkinson's, there are treatments available, if it is not - God Bless!

Sounds like parkinsons disease. You need to go and see a doctor. Just remember that Michael J. Fox and Muhammad Ali have it and they are inspirational.

without a neurological exam it could be parkinsons, bells palsy or othr neurological disorders the best way to find out is to see a neurologist and have them determine specifically what you have and the best way to deal with it and it can strike at any age hope this helps Gorbalizer
