Brief Answer:
Following additional information requested....

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concern.

You are saying to have started to shake all over from head to toe. I need to have additional information as following:
- are you having this shaking when resting or when moving around or doing another activity?
- are you also having increased saliva when having such episodes?
- do you feel any blackout or any other problem when shaking?
- do you suffer of any other chronic medical illness: high blood pressure? diabetes? or any other?

Apart Parkinson, my suspect go for possible Epilepsy attack. However, a good neurological examination and EEC (electroencephalogram) would determine the right diagnosis. If not enough, head ct-scan would be also helpful.

Looking forward to have the requested info in!
Dr.Albana
