Sir , i have a neurological disorder like when i write something i feel a kind of shivering in my hands resulting in a worsened handwriting. inorder to write good i need to put some extra power.

Neurologist 's  Response
Hi Mr Jayanta,

Thank you for posting your query.

Based on your symptoms, there are two likely possibilities:

1. Essential tremors

2. Writer's cramp

In both these conditions, shivering may occur while writing, making it very poor handwriting. Problems get worse with anxiety.

There are good medications available to treat them, such as beta blockers, pacitane, etc.

Your neurologist would be able to guide you regarding the best medications.

Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
