are you kidding me... how could you let yourself get to a point like that.

you haven't had a drink in a few hours???? WTF dude - are you drinking the whole goddamn day? how do you expect to hold down a job? That just blows my mind.... Shouldn't take a trembling hand to clue you in... How about the fact that you can't put down a dang drink!!

i was quite the functional alcholic.... its happens slowly and you dont even notice that much as it happens

no doubt,

i don't need or want a drink, but at 6-8pm, i usually reach for the sauce.

this has been years - not a problem, but i like to have a drink after work is done.

i don't like drinking during the daytime hours - makes me want to sleep and f's up my sleep habits

yet another argument for those fag ass noon football games

no one can watch state games sober

You've got Parkinson's or AIDS

possibly nerve damage. if it doesn't stop in a day or two, have it checked out.

Hmm...I'm surprised no one has mentioned an electrolyte imbalance yet. Often when my muscles are fatigued from repetitive actions -working out, several hours of manual labor or typing for long periods of time- I will get repeated twitches and tremors in my muscles- biceps, latissimus dorsi and quads are prone to this. Try examining your sodium/potassium intake, take up more and see if it doesn't improve.

I have also heard of a magnesium deficiency causing tremors as well.

If you continue to have problems, it's worth a visit to a primary care physician or a neurologist. You may have, as I already mentioned, a nutritional deficiency, or have sustained some sort of nerve damage or a pinched nerve and should get checked out before it gets worse.

"I hate to put the boogie woogie shit in your mind, but my co-worker/informal boss who is 55ish has had it in one of his hands ever since he was about 35 or so. He said it started off real slow, like a nervous tick, and it progressed to constant shaking/tremors of his hand. None of his doctors could figure out what it was but it pretty much ruined his private plane flying days. He plays the trumbone in a brass band now I think, but so far he says if he uses the hand quickly and constantly the tremors go away but come back as soon as he stops moving it. It's hard for him to speak in front of others without trying to hide the hand or clamp it down under his other arm."

sounds like that swine flu girl

^an old boss of mine had the same thing as well

and an electrolyte imbalance doesn't make sense. I was fatigued, hadn't worked out, etc, etc, etc. and I was eating/drinking normally.

now, after several days, it's pretty much slowly gone away. the tremors are slower and much more muted.
