At times I have had problems with my hands shaking, particularly when I needed to do something in the work app or online. It hasn't happened in a while.
I woke up with a pretty persistent headache about an hour ago and took some OTC pain medicine which of course has about 130 mg of caffeine.
Just now I paid my gas and electric bills online. And I battled horrific problems with shaking hands I could barely input what I needed. And one bill was due today I had to get it done.
It was hideous.
I remember when I worked at an agency that handled, in part, disability claims and one thing the Social Security guru was always doing he had a thing going with former data entry operators who were out on disability for hand/wrist issues. When they went to work doing something else he had a thing with Social Security where they said they were saving $$ out of their check to pay for a speech to text program so they could get back into data entry, and the program was not cheap.
God forbid I may need something like that one day. That was awful, just now.
I have a family history of essential tremor - it was bad enough my mother, a professional musician, had to stop playing piano. Other family members have required botox injections in their arms and hands. If that wasn't enough the medication I take to stay alive also causes/aggravates tremor.
I just hope I can use my hands the rest of the day! So far I seem to be OK typing at least.
