Hand Tremors

I get this problem with my legs sometimes, one of them will shake pretty violently sometimes. It usually has something to do with weight and power focusing, but I would take the advice from everybody in the thread, probably has something to do with rest and/or stress.

I get this too when lifting weights. I was told something similar to what you were, and so in our case I don't think rest or stress has anything to do with it.

Are you drinking diet soda or eating sugarless candy or gum by any chance? Aspartame can cause these sorts of tremors.

I'd like to third the "doctor" argument. They know more than the lot of us.

...unless one of us is a doctor.

THough, I've been averaging four hours of sleep a night and drinking caffeine to wake up during classes, as well. If the above is true, I've gotta watch myself, as well...

Yes. Don't rely on video game forums for high-level medical device.

I noticed something similar six or more months ago, but it's not to the degree that I've gotten it checked out yet. Did worry me a little, though.

Yeah, this is something you need to see a doctor about. Don't self-medicate.

I had a similar condition develop years ago and it turned out I had a mild seizure disorder. I recommend getting some qualified medical advice before you have a seizure or something.

This sounds pretty serious S|1p, alot more then my thread when my hands didn't seem to thaw out after a month or so. Anyway, don't bother with WebMD, do what I didn't and check with a doctor, I think if you get tremors like that pretty often that you should go see it checked, I doubt it's nervosity, like you said, you know when it is. Ya said it's been going on for the last couple months but do you know if something might have happened months back that could have triggered it? Maybe you burned your hands and killed your nerves or something...

Might not be Parkinsons but it could be MS.

I can't hold my hands all that steady. Neither can my brother, neither can my dad, neither could my grandpa.

It's genetic.

It gets worse with the more pressure I'm under, so if I'm trying to cut something fine with an exacto knife I have concentrate as hard as I can to get a straight cut without a twitch sending me off-line.

This is also how I first noticed it: One day during lunch back in Grade 6 I was on the last level of Super Mario Land. My friends asked if I was scared, because my hands looked like I was shivering.

Shit... when my car got wrecked I was pretty pissed off. But then I got all worried about a bunch of stuff and when I was looking under the hood and underneath the car assessing the damage my left leg had the shakes big time.
