We are not Drs. but we can tell you what we have experienced. did all this shaking start recently or has it happened gradually? Has she seen a Dr.? Has she started any new meds. that may have caused her shaking? I was dx with essential tremor a few years before I was dx with MS. The tremor started in my hands but has spread to my head, my voice, and my knees/legs. There are meds that MAY help, surgeries that may be an option, buit the first step is to see a Dr. perhaps a neurologist.
