Everytime i talk to someone or do something, first my hand and then my whole body starts shaking, and i feel so bad and i can't do anything at all. Any advice on how to control it?

No advice on how to control it except to ask your Doctor. I have this too on occasion and I try to ignore it If anyone asks about it or stares I simply say I have a little nerve problem nothing serious. Then I change the subject. Pam

I agree with sweetiepye about checking with your Doctor.

I'd also suggest ignoring it because it could be that it feels a lot worse to you that it actual is because you've become highly sensitive to it.

I get a twitch in the muscles around my eye at times and I feel like I am winking at people, but although I can feel the twitch when I ask people they can't see the muscle twitching.

Also maybe learning some breathing techniques may help you, but your doctor should be able to suggest what would help you.

I think im making it worst by thinking of it all the time, . Like everytime i start doing something im like " Ohh boy here come the hands" and i find them shaking more and more. Thanks to the both of you for taking your time to respond to this <3

You could try taking a deep breath when you feel the shakes and just telling yourself that it is going to be alright. That may help.

Take care

first accept and say to yourself, "I'm shaking". then concentrate on one body part at a time: my right hand is shaking, my right hand does not have to shake, my right hand is not shaking.. work your way through your hands, feet, calves, etc. That process shifts your focus. allow yourself to feel good about gaining control over the shakes. don't feel bad.
