My friend is 23 and lately I've been concerned about her. Her hands shake to the point on where you can tell she is trying to stop them but she can't. I know it's rare to get diagnosed so young with Parkinsons, but it does happen. What are early warning signs? I'm afraid to talk about it with her b/c when we're out she tries to hide her hands. What else could it be?

Colleen,
The tremoring in her hands could be the result of any number of things, such as something known as Essential Tremor. It can also be from drug use (I mean as a prescription side effect). Try googling her symptoms to see if you come up with something. Maybe if you talk to her, she will begin to open up. Show her how much you care.

Good luck!
