Shaking or tremors are rhythmic oscillations of a part of the body. It often involves the hands but not uncommonly can be in the head, mouth, voice, or foot. When in the hands it can be in one, or both.
When people notice a tremor the first thing they think of is Parkinson’s. While Parkinson’s is a common cause of tremor it is not the only cause. The other common cause is the so called essential tremor. Probably a poor choice of names, an essential tremor is one that has no known cause. Its character is exactly opposite of the Parkinson tremor. With essential tremor the hands are quiet when not doing any activity, and then begin to shake when an activity is performed such as writing, eating, or holding something like a tray or plate. This can be very minimal to severe and debilitating. Like most tremors it tends to get worse with stress, less when relaxed, and gone or virtually gone during sleep.
