Are you experiencing internal tremors or sensations without visible shaking?
What you're describing as "inward tremors" or restless, scrambling sensations sounds frustrating. While not everyone with Parkinson's experiences the classic visible tremors, internal sensations can still occur.
About 70 percent of people with Parkinson's do experience tremors, but they typically appear as resting tremors that are visible when the affected body part is at rest. However, not everyone experiences obvious outward shaking.
Here are some approaches that may help ease your symptoms:
- Physical and occupational therapy can help you regain strength and manage symptoms
- Medication adjustments - since Parkinson's symptoms are related to dopamine levels, medications like carbidopa/levodopa might help, though responses vary
- Discuss these sensations with your neurologist to ensure your treatment plan addresses what you're experiencing
It's important to mention these internal sensations to your doctor, as they may want to evaluate whether adjustments to your current treatment could help. Stress can worsen tremor-related symptoms, so stress management techniques might also provide some relief.
