I have that bad. It can come at any time of the day. My neurologist put me on Pramipexole 0.25 mg at night. I take a half if my day has been good, low activity and a whole one if it’s a busy day. Sometimes I will only have to take it every few days. It’s on an as needed basis

I do get sometime shakes on hands. My prednisone dose has been decreased along time ago but I do get shaky occasionally.

Before I was diagnosed I had tremors. My whole body would shake. After several tests they couldn't find what was causing them. Several years later my neurologist said that it was a side effect of the disease and can be missed by many doctors. I still get them occasionally but they are mild compared to what they were.
