I posted a similar question a month or so ago. It is a personal decision but for my own case I chose to share the info. When I was first diagnosed there were people who thought I was becoming an alcoholic! I try to be matter of fact about it but I let them know that I have parkinsons and there may be some things about me that are different. I'm a teacher and since the kids notice not only my shakes but also the fact that I'm taking medicine, I have shared the information with those who have asked. I keep it light and call myself Twitchy and Shaky. Who knows, it seems to work for me.
