Germans fret about Merkel after shaking episodes
The shaking episodes - all while standing at ceremonies - have unnerved many Germans, who look to Angela Merkel as a rock in an unstable world, and have raised questions about her health and whether her punishing schedule is proving too much.
Bild counted 21 foreign trips that Merkel, who turns 65 next week, has been on so far this year, which it said was more than 41-year-old French President Emmanuel Macron, on 17, and 62-year-old British Prime Minister Theresa May, on 16.
Leading the European Union’s largest economy, Merkel is renowned for her work ethic and has a reputation for outlasting other leaders at EU summits with her ability to focus on the details of complex discussions deep into the night.
Merkel appeared cheerful and steady at two appointments on Friday morning, posing briefly while standing before cameras to receive a report on carbon pricing and for a gallery opening.
The chancellor, who has no history of serious health issues, insisted “I am fine” on Wednesday, after trembling at a ceremony to receive Finland’s prime minister, and said she was “working through” a bout of tremors that first occurred in mid-June.
But she has declined to give any details about her health.
“I look after my health,” she said on Thursday.

I feel so bad for this woman. I believe that whatever it is, is neurological in nature. I don't believe it's dehydration. But, the poor thing can't even be sick in peace.

This woman, who is approaching her elderly years, has been battling against nationalist populism in not just her own country, but also throughout Europe and the rest of the west, all the while Russia manipulates things from the outside. It's a small wonder that all this is taking its toll on her.
