Hi Don, There is a well known connection between PD symptoms and stress. The stress can be "bad", such as having worries over something, or "good", such as your favourite football team winning. Both make your body produce chemicals that affect the way your PD meeds work. And when you are stressed by the "bad" kind, you *will* feel shaky inside. This is not an effect of PD, but an effect of the stress chemicals. But because the making of the stress chemicals uses up some of your dopamine, which you don't have enough of anyway, you will not be feeling so good, and this produces its own stress, and so it goes. PWPs have to learn how to control stress, more than anything else, because if this is not learned, just taking PD meds won't let you live life as you want to. Jim
