There are calmatives you can take to lesson this, but you'll need to see a quack for medical advise. If you have this problem you'll probably be aware of it, as your shaking and trembling will be almost constant throughout the day even whilst doing no tasks at all. if you sadly have a disease that affects the firing of the neurons in your brain, or loss of the myelin sheath insulating the nerves, this will cause tremors and shaking. Ok, the reasons we shake are two fold, firstly are medical reasons. I am also going to send DrRock, our resident leechkeeper :P, a PM to peer review my post, and add in his words of wisdom to this thread. but if you do have issues with a steady hand, then it will be well worth the read, because if you understand the problem you are better suited to tackle it. It's going to be a long post where we 'go down deep and stay down long', and probably be boring for many members who don't have this problem. This is going to be an in-depth look at the causes of this problem, and a few solutions. T here are so many things I have learned from lobbing lead 800+ metres that can be transferred to the art of watchmaking, and it's a hobby I highly recommend.
