Hello,
This is a chronic disorder, characterized by involuntary muscle spasms, triggered by a special task (writing). It is not curable, but it can be treated with different medication (Clonazepam, Baclofen or Botulin toxin injections). Another possible treatment option is tetrabenazine. You should discuss with your doctor on the above treatment options.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
