Default Shaking in the morning

Hi everybody, I am here to ask questions on behalf of my 91 year auntie.
For the last 5 months she has had been shaking in the lower half of the right arm mostly, but on occasions the left arm will shake as well.

She refuses to go to a neurologist because of a prior testing of an Angiography for a completely different problem, so her GP suspects parkisons, he has slowly been increasing meds [ Levodop & Carbidopa 100mg /25 mg ] , she is currently on 1 tab morning and 2 at night, her shaking has defiantly improved but every morning she gets out of bed and she is fine but a couple of minutes after sitting down at the breakfast table her right arm shakes badly, sometimes her left arm shakes as well, her right arm usually shakes for 1 hour or so then she is fine for the rest of the day just a twitch every now and again.
So my question is the morning shaking a normal thing for this condition ? tablet dose related perhaps ?
If anyone has any thoughts on this it would be very much appreciated.
thanks
