Internal Tremors
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone experience internal tremors? If so, is there anything specifically that helps?

I thought I was the only one with these internal tremors. They are worse than the tremors others can see. When I have them they are so bad they exhaust me. Don’t know if anything can stop them once they start. They seem to have to run their course before they stop. I met a very nice lady at the Ophthalmologist office & we began talking about age & health. I mentioned that I have Parkinson’s…her answer to me was….”really?? You don’t have any symptoms”. Oh how people just do not understand Parkinson’s. I explained a little about it not being just tremors & there is so much more. I couldn’t really explain it to her so I just changed the subject. I just wish more people knew more about Parkinson’s.😑

Hey DebraDavidson
Remember the post when you tried to help my by way of hypnosis “you’re getting sleepy “, “you’re getting sleepy”…etc ?
Well it worked (you must be brilliant or have special powers..lol. Last night my body hit that wall I talked about. I went to sleep at 12 am (2hours earlier than I usually try to sleep), when I woke & looked at the clock this morning …. Morning was already gone. My clock said 12 pm. Needless to say I was shocked 😳!! Infact I wasn’t sure I believed it so took the walker & headed to the living room & said to my husband..”is it really noon?” He assured me it was & that when he saw I was asleep, he snuck out & had been pretty quiet 🤐 so not to wake me. Don’t know what will happen tonight but it doesn’t matter because I just slept 12 hours last night!!!
Ok I will see if it works for you…Debra, “you are getting sleepy 😪 “, “you are getting 🥱 sleepy”, “you are getting sleepy😴”…. Let me know if I have the power too & it makes you sleep!!! 💕

Hi bbonham,
I wish more people would be aware of us parkies. When I tell someone I have parkinson, they usually say " you dont look like you have it" I also have internal
Tremors and they are awful, I usually get them at night so it makes sleeping impossible ,I try not to keep my husband up,so I wander around the house,sometimes I watch tv but all I want is to be normal and go to sleep.I hope all is well with you. God Bless

Absolutely those are the worst. I didn’t mention them earlier because, quite frankly, I thought I was the only one because I never heard anyone else mention them. They are worse than external tremors. And as far as I know there’s nothing I can do about them. I usually am extremely aware of them, mostly at night, maybe because I’m quieter at night and I feel all those things that I don’t notice as much when I am busy. The internal tremors are much worse than the external tremors. And you don’t feel like you can turn them off and you get so tired because it takes a lot of energy to shake. And it internally it’s so much worse.
