Theresa, I recently saw my movement disorder specialist. He didn't seem surprised or alarmed by the jaw temor, so I assume it isn't that unusual. My daughter, who has not been diagonesed with PD, also has a tremor that affects her voice.

I'm glad to hear from you, @tedalmon. Has your jaw tremor changed very much?

In thinking about your daughter, has she seen an otolaryngologist about the voice tremor? An otolaryngologist is an ENT doctor who specializes in voice/vocal cord disorder. Often, a tremor in the vocal cords is unrelated to PD and can be treated with meds and procedures that are not all that complicated.
