Most of them have Parkinson's and a host of other ailments. They take several prescription medications and some of these meds have horrible side effects.  Some senior citizens may have neurological problems and some of these cause tremors too.  I work in a Retirement Home and we just try to make them as comfortable as possible.

There is a good explanation for this I read long before...\n\nMost of the time we shake our legs due to some tension.\nThis tension will create an unusual disturbances in nervous system which reaches the brain as a wave.. the immidiate responce of the brain to this fluctuations will come ut in form of "shaking"....\n\nI dont remember from where i read this info..buthopefully this info will help you to some extent\ngoodluck!

It is a physiological response to emotional/psychological stressors. You have probably heard the saying, "carrying the weight of the world on his/her shoulders" - that saying is referring to dealing with a lot of stress. Meditation and/or yoga is a good way to take the tension off the neck and shoulders.

It's normal with aging.  As you get older the hair on your head decrease but in places like eyebrows, ears, nose, and often times the back as well, the hair increases.  I am not really sure of any reason other than nature

This could be caused from tension, and when your muscles relax, where the spinal column meets the back of the head it will crack and pop.  kinda like cracking the nuckles?

well in ancient times, ive heard folklore about old people being carried into the forest, because they were no longer helpful to the community.  but oftentimes ppl in the past did not live to be more than 60 years old...otherwise their families just took care of them until they got too sick, then they just treated them like any other dying person.  believe it or not, a few hundred yrs. ago, there were no nursing homes...yup...lol

No, you're not getting old.  They need slapped across their smart little faces.  Know how I know?  I was the same way, and I attribute it to little or no discipline  :-)

This isnn't really the place to answer this. If you think it's serious get her to the docs or emergency room. \n\nHowever, my daughter does exactly the same thing. We took her to the doctors and basically they said don't worry. My daughter will stop doing it for a while and then sometimes restart. It seems to be maybe stress related but in her case it's been no great shakes. She got it about sge 11 and is now 14 and eventually you just kinda stop seeing her doing it. I'm sure the doctor gave it a name at the time, but I've forgotten it. It doesn't seem to bother her so we're cool with it, although like you it bothered us at the start.

People don't actually shrink when they get old. The "shrinkage" is caused by tiny fractures in the spinal cord caused by lack of calcium etc., basically osteoporosis. The fractures cause the spine to curve and cause height loss.\nThe average "shrinkage" is only about 2 inches.

Don't pay any attention to them. They're not all that. Someday they'll be fat, old and wrinkly and you'll be like...OMG! What happened to you??? lol.

sounds verys serious. they may want to see a doctor. also, the dizzyness, tiredness, and feeling like the are gonna pass out is probably dehidration. they should try to drink more water as well.

It would be good to give some more informations, like: when do they shake? did u notice if some special situations cause it?  do they shake while you are at rest? Or after exausted day?\nIt would say a lot about what could it be :)\n\nIf you wish to talk to somebody feel free to email me:\nlina_girl06@yahoo.com

this is a subject that i know all to well. I watched my grandmother go from a vibrant woman at the age of 71 to a woman with an IQ of a child at 73. It attacks the functions of the brain which controls all functions of the body. It slowly diterates the cells in the brain starting with memory first. Then it attacks motor functions like swallowing, chewing, moving the hands and feet, talking too. Then it goes into full scale where the body starts to chut down that's where they are in a vegetative state and bedridden. Then ultimately death. My grandmother started showing signs of it in the form of forgetfulness, then she started to go back in time and forget who or what she was talking about. It was the hardest thing when she would call me on the phone crying her eyes out because she was sitting in the bath tub and forgot how to turn off the water and it was running over all over the floor and into the rest of the house. To the families its expecially tough because you are watching someone you love dearly fall to pieces literally is front of your eyes. When they get to the point that they start to wonder off or get up during the midnight hour and walk off and get in the car or take a walk trying to go back home to when they were children it's scary and hard because it takes time out of your life. For me I had to put my life on hold almost and I was pregnant at the time, but I loved my granny so much it didn't matter to me. You have to understand that they are someone different now and that it's not pf their control they act the way they do. She also cussed us out, accused us of stealing or poisoning her. She hid things from us because she got to the point she didn't recognize us or trust us anymore. She would argue with us because she would forget things and she got frustrated easily. It's hard to take care of someone like that. Because they are unpredictiable. then when they get to a certain way they might only trust you to take care of them. Which for me was the case. it's a disease that changes not only the person suffering from it, it changes the person or people taking care of that person. After my granny died from this disease, I didn't want to become a nurse anymore. I couldn't take it again to see someone else go through that. It turn my world apart because she wasn't granny anymore. I had to take care of her like a 1 year old. Changing her diapers and cleaning up after her and feeding her. You go through so much. But I wouldn't have had it no other way. She raised me and took care of me, the least i could have done was do the same and for that i am grateful for because i was there the whole time. I loved her that much and will always.

It can happen at any age although it is most common in the elderly, because they have decreased bowel motility and tend not to take in a lot of fluids.  They would have to remove the obstruction surgically

this is a simptom which happens to people due to anxiety and to some with a neurological condition which causes the same effect. \ntry simply avoiding caffine for a while then if that isn't enough try various relaxation tecniques. if none of this works consult your physican.   \np.s. it may pass as you get older.

It can aggravate back problems, especially if the monitor is not placed right causing poor posture in the chair. Also if the monitor isn't positioned correctly it can cause neck strain due to holding the head in an anatomically incorrect position. Neck strain can also be caused by looking at text being transcribed if the copy is not positioned properly. Prolonged keyboarding year after year can lead to arthritis of the fingers.

If you are getting older  could be due to aging process
