That would definately be pseudoparkinsonism. Arm jerking is a sharp form of it, but it could occur in a variety of ways in different people and different ages I can imagine.

Please please let's not diagnose one another online! As you say yxibow, only Deneb's doctor can draw truly rational inferences about what this could be.Even MDs can't diagnose people sight unseen, there are too many variables, including history-- and esp. clinical judgment, which is something one only gets over years, and also seeing and talking to the person "in person."
Esp. with something so potentially frightening--or potentially, harmless or easily treated--IMO none of us can possibly say what the tremor is, nor should we try--again IMHO..
Deneb, check with your doctor. Don't forecast dire assessment---just check it out.
