My hand shakes when I write.

This is the type that shakes on movement. We distinguish it from shaking at rest.

Are there other causes to rule out first?

There are. We check the thyroid, blood glucose, and your current medication.

This is a characteristic of essential tremor. We look at the tension side together.

We look at head tremor on the same axis. We check the neck muscles alongside.

Many people do combine them. Please do not stop it on your own.

There are cases where it lessens temporarily. However, we do not recommend that method.

We evaluate in three-month units. We do not regard it as disappearing completely.

The moment of shaking differs. If it shakes at rest, we look to Parkinson's.

🤲

Involuntary shaking of the hands or head. We distinguish the type that worsens with movement from the type that appears at rest.
