With my osteoarthritis my signature has changed over the years. From time to time, essential tremors become unpredictably active and that gives my signature a jerky and sectional appearance to it (imagine signing your name when riding on a bumpy road).

Ten years ago, I had a very neat Palmer script signature. Now it looks something like this and would definitely NOT match my "on file" signature.

The onset of this and Parkinson's typically begins in one's mid-60's and onward. I imagine this is something that's quite common in states with many retirees.
