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.

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