Vaccination and tremors

I am a 68 year old female and was diagnosed with Parkinsons about 4 years ago and have been managing with mild symptoms and didn't need to start medication. However I got the flu vaccine and covid vaccine together two months ago and about three days later I developed significant tremors along the right hand side of my body. Over these last two months the tremors seem to be escalating quickly. Prior to this my tremors were quite mild. I'm wondering if anyone else experienced an escalation in tremors after vaccination?

not a flu vaccine but my husband had to have a tetanus shot shortly after a covid vaccination due to an encounter with a rusty nail - symptoms did seem to be worse right after that but they did return to what they were before within a month after the event- after this happened I am thinking that if a person is getting vaccinations it is better to space them out and not try to do more than one at a time - to me it seems logical that it would be better to not have this much stress on the system at one time but in this situation we pretty much didn't have the choice to not get the tetanus shot

My tremor started the day after my second Covid "vaccine". I don't think the vaccine caused my PD, but I do believe it accelerated the process.

Hm…this calls for some research . I’ve had no vaccines since fall 2019. My tremors just worsened this year (14 yrs since diagnosis.

Not the vaccine, but my symptoms definitely got worse with every COVID bout. I have had 3 sadly, and the first was the "wild type". Not sure why they call it that since it was made in a lab.

My tremors in my hands started when I had a long Covid illness. It did not start with my vaccination.

I had no symptoms (and no PD diagnosis) at all until I developed a right sided tremor that started right after my Pfizer Covid booster. My doctor thought that while the vaccine didn't cause my PD, the stress from the vaccine most likely triggered the symptoms. Would I have developed symptoms a lot later without the vaccine? Who knows. My main symptom is still a right sided tremor but I also have poor smell and general body aches most days.
