Hi there, and welcome!

My daughter had severe tremors due to hyperthyroidism. They became much worse when upset, anxious, what have you.

Tremors can have a cause (as in my daughter's case and she began this as a teen), or may have no known cause.

What you're doing may be tremors and I would certainly see a dr. about it, explaining that it's interfering with your life. Your dr. might want to do some basic bloodwork...please suggest checking thyroid function, hypoglycemia or other sources of tremor that can be checked for in the blood (i.e. vitamin B1 deficiency). If you bloodwork is OK, I'd ask for a referral to a neurologist.

From what I've read this is very treatable when bad enough for treatment.

Some of what I found (at wikipedia under "tremor") said:


From what it sounds like (shaking so badly you can't write), you may be having a type of tremor.

I would definitely go the medical route first because you don't write that you're overly anxious during these times, etc., so I'm assuming you're a nervous that most people would feel in similar situations but still have this severe shaking/tremor that doesn't "match" how you feel.

Good luck!
