I was on a 9.5 hour flight today. My tremors were significantly worse.

Anyone experience that?

The first time I experienced tremor in my leg was immediately after a flight. But I've flown a few times since and not had any problems.

the opposite, the vibration from travel seems to calm my tremors. Airplane food i stay away from though!

Flying is stressful (at least for me it is), and stress makes symptoms worse.

Graciedog123, I travel between 50 and 75% for work. Two factors that I've noticed that effect my tremor when flying is lower sleep than normal ( generally I get 8-9 hours) and additional stress.

Any stressful situation can cause your symptoms to worsen. The combo of flying and being streßsed because of increasing tremors would make my symptoms much worse.

I alway request a few Xanax from my doc before flying . It helps me immensely.
