shake

tear

My right hand shakes. Sometimes it is still, but when at rest it shakes to varying degrees. It was diagnosed by a neurologist as "essential tremor." This diagnosis was a relief, as it might have been something far worse. Still, it is embarassing at times. Yesterday at school I was pouring a cup of coffee and it shook so badly that I spilled coffee on myself and on the countertop. I hope people don't think I am an alcoholic or something.
