The majority of people with a tremor will jump to the worst case scenario and be fearful of a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD). The typical tremor seen in PD is called a 'rest tremor.' The rest tremor can be temporarily dampened or abolished during voluntary action (deciding to move the affected body part). Rest tremors can fluctuate in severity depending on whether the person feels under observation, under stress or during excitement/recent exercise. Lastly, you should respect her right to privacy, as her doctor may have told her something entirely different.
