How Much Do Your Hands Shake? (If Any)

Post Reply New Topic

When I was in Middle School, I had a dream of becoming a Veterinarian, which I decided wouldn't work because my I could not keep my hands still. However, I no longer have that problem, and I don't know what if anything I did to cause that to change.

My hands don't actually shake but sometimes I get a "pre-tremor" type tingly sensation (most strong in my left hand). It's a tickle on the inside that makes me feel like I have a weak grip. I notice it most after vigorous exertion or when I've tried lifting weights. I found I could not hold a pencil or write for almost two hours after lifting weights. It was too annoying.

I rarely ever handshake, nor do I like it. My hands don't actually shake, but I may try to move my hand away as soon as possible.

... since I remember.
That's why I got checked by a neurologist 4 years ago and the diagnose he gave me is: Essential Tremors
Had anyone got the same diagnostic that i did?

There is no treatment for it, but you can aliviate the symptoms by making a lot of exercise and by drinking alcohol.

I wonder if that's why it's easier for me to draw when I drink.
