What does essential tremor feel like?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shaking with use: Tremors of mainly hands which appear or intensify by attempt to use hands in activities like holding a cup or writing with a pen or use knife or a fork. Shaking subsides once the hands are rested on laps or well supported. An alcoholic drink often relieves tremors for several hours.
