How Much Do Your Hands Shake? (If Any)

Post Reply New Topic

My hands will shake when I get really angry and they will usually shake a small amount out in public around a bunch of strangers.

yeah mine shake.. the first time i notice was when i was 13 poeple would hassel me about eating jelly.. and would always spilll hot drinks
now i have to have the shake thing on the camera all the time..
i would be very interested to know what is the cause of it, i thought it might have something
to do with nerves and was told it might be a lack of b vitamins i think they said

My hands do sometimes shake but usually that is when I have caffeine.

my hands always shake a little. many people have commented on it and I was afraid for a while that I had a degenerative neurological condition, expect that I've always had the hand tremors as well as muscle tics. the muscle tics happen a lot less now, though, and I wonder if it's the many years of chiropractic to correct and control back problems that helped that.

caffeine and nicotine intensify my hand tremors and make my clumsiness more pronounced, as does intense emotion and low blood sugar.

As an add on, I just thought of this and figured it had something to do with this thread. I was wondering first of all if it is an Aspie thing in the first place and if anyone else has experianced ths. You see, Im just going about daily business checking stuff out on the web or watching t.v and out of no where my entire body gets a chill and spasms. Its weird and it has happened to me for as along as I can remember.

Not at all, but my NT partner's hands shake all the time. I had to get him a camera with stabilization.

Once in a while, i get a slight tremor, especially if I am trying to hold something up and/or hold something steady.Some days, I get it when I am holding my iPod nano and trying to change songs or when I am texting or dialing on my cell phone...my hand feels weak and shakes a bit.

Being insulin-dependent, I have a little experience with low blood sugar. And yes, it does induce shakiness. Also bad temper, pallor, excessive perspiration and arrant stupidity.

I'VE never heard of it, so I DOUBT it is. My hands don't shake.

Is it possible that everyone here things that their hands should always be 100% steady? I mean so you could write like a 100% straight line? Look at pictures that are free drawn. The lines aren't perfect, and people generally use rulers. My lines CAN be pretty straight but I won't try to like bisect a page freehand.

BTW diabetics ARE more likely to shake because blood sugar is less steady.

And pointers DO make shaking more obvious. That becomes more obvious as the distance between the pointer and the target increases.

My hands used to shake visibly when I was a child, but not anymore. I'm a lot less neurotic these days, thank god

My hands only shake when I'm really upset over something; a certain variety of upset.
They shake a lot when it happens.


If they shake at other times, I'm not aware of it.

Relaxed, no. Angry, yes.

My hands pretty much always have a slight tremor to them. I first noticed it when I was about 14. Whenever people ask me to take a picture of them, I'm always worried about it being blurry from not having a steady hand. If my wife's with me, I usually get her to do it.

It's not so much shaking, although that does happen at times, but sometimes just not being able to hold onto things.
several broken dishes have happened that way.

I would shake/flap my hands intentionally as a child. As an adult, they shake when I'm nervous/worried/under pressure, etc.

my hands shake all the time, gets worse in times of stress.
