I have seen it up close in my grand dad and i saw it up close in a professor in college. the shakes are not some shiver.....they are violently hurtful things and soemtimes scary to watch! I use to take my grand dads hands when he would have an attack and hold them and try to get him to focus eye to eye with me to help him thru it but they are wild spasms that need meds to control because there is no other way to really c ontrol them without meds. If Limbaugh says he is acting someone needs to take h im out back and give him a good lynching.

I didn't mean to imply that the parkinson's tremors were not horrific, just that they look very different from what's seen in the ad. Parkinson's is a terrible disease and people should see how it ravages the body. A lot of people think it's just some shaking when that's only a small part of it.
