> Hello , hope I'am doing this right its my frist time so hello to all. Whenyou > become shaky is peanut butter good to take?.If I don't eat around 12 I start > to shak. Audrey C. Audrey, you're doing it just fine. If your shakiness is due to low blood sugar (usually occurs when you haven't eaten anything for a few hours) it would be best to have some fruit juice, as that will boost your blood sugar quickest. If the shakiness is due to PD tremor, it may be that your medications are wearing off. In that case, you may need to take your medication as well as eat some food. If your medication is levodopa, try taking it about 11:30, then have your food around 12:00.
