Shakiness?

[Hal76]

Does anyone else get shaky, particularly in nervous situations? I'm not sure if it's a Dyspraxic thing or not!
Am seeing a neurologist soon anyway but am interested to find out if anyone else gets this.

I get shaky really easily over lotsa things, more so than other people cause it gets noticed. If I'm cold, hot, if I carry anythin or move anythin, even carrying shopping does it, if I'm hungry, or tired, plus when I'm nervous. I've always thought it was a dyspraxia thing

I do have a small tremor in my hand, and sometimes my fingers start twitching and I can't stop it.

[Daniel]

If I have anything of a shock or an argument I shake. I've heard that people go into shock after experiencing some tremendous event but I seem to have something similar after very little. If I argue with someone, even just a raising of voices I can be shaking and feeling out of it for ages.

Also if I have to carry anything heavy my arms might tremble.

I have no idea what these are all due to. Does anyone know?

[Liz944]

I find I shake when I am nervous and also when on certain medications (when I find I shake all the time).

[Greg]

The getting angry and heavy loads applies to me too. I thought that was the same for everyone though? Certainly I've seen people shake as a result of anger who aren't dyspraxic.

[Riddles]

hi, well I used to be very nervous when I was younger, but that seems to have abated but I still shake, and my hands are terrible, especially when I'm carrying mugs of tea and the like, it could be a dyspraxia thing, who knows?

I always suffer from tremors, but it seems to be thought that its just a side effect from the medication im on for my epilepsy. i personally dont believe that because its been going on longer than ive been popping the anti convulsant pills....

I often experiance a sort of "quick shake" it dosn't affect me in any negative way though.

[Auron]

yeah I have a habit of heel-tapping extremely fast when im sitting down, and I sometimes get "quick shakes".

[sheppeyescapee]

I shake when I am carrying heavy objects, hungry, overtired, stressed, and nervous. There are probably other times. The shaking can become uncontrollable sometimes to the point where I can't keep hold of anything and it is visible to other people. It can be rather annoying sometimes, although a good indication that I'm overdoing things.

[Shadwell]

my friends are always telling me to stop tapping my heel, I do suffer with a slight shake in my hands, more noticeable when doing delicate things, like tightening the screw on my glasses, or when trying to connect leads to a pc motherboard.

as for all over shakes, then I used to really suffer with it, when I had tonsilitus, or wasn't feeling that good, and as a child, then it was about once a week.

now I am an adult, then I only occasionally get them, apart from the usual like cold weather etc.

so as in answer to the question, then the answer is yes, but not as much as I used to.

[Emmur]

I shake all the time too! mostly hands but if I'm nervous it can be everywhere. Its really embarrassing. Especially talks in front of the class at school! I only know 1 other persion that shakes as bad as me but I don't think she is dyspraxic... then I'm not 100% sure I am

[becky1986]

i shake to for no apparent reason i spent all weekend with my right arm shaking making it near impossible to do any work

[Liz944]

I have shakiness but I think for me it relates to depression rather than dyspraxia.
