The sad answer is yes. I 've heard it called Parkinson's plus. Parkinson's effects the dopamine producing cells in the brain.

Thank you all, I'll have to see about meds for her shakiness, Its hard enough for her not being able to speak and walk and all the rest , the shaking is really upsetting for her.
