Hand Tremors From My Ptsd Whats Best Method For Removing This?

Not open for further replies.
I am not blessed with sketching talents, but I do use my hands allot and do suffer tremors from time to time. No good explanation for mine, either. Sigh.

My main two tricks are:
1) shake hands vigorously. If shaking them at my side doesn't work, I shake them over my head, behind my back, wherever. Repeat as necessary.

2) keep a piece of scrap paper by my work area. Make free strokes across the page until tremors ease up enough that I can continue working. Repeat as necessary. In your case, this could even help you develop a new sketch style.

Hope ya find something that works for you, ChibiVore. Sketching is truly a gift.
 
I feel for you and your situation.:shy:
In addition to the above, nerves in your neck go to your arms and hands. If they have problems, hand tremors can occur. Solutions: notice if you have neck pain, chest or upper back tightness.

Then, you or a friend can look up on the internet, or on Utube, how to do gentle stretches, in those areas. Or maybe, see a massage therapist, or seek out a gentle, soft tissue, oriented chiropracter (uses 'toftness' lens or practices 'bioenergetic synchronization technique'),or see physical therapist. Remember,you can always barter about cost.

And, of course, appreciate the beauty in every mark you make!
You are a vehicle for beauty :).

Will try gatorade but I always thought sodium was in salt and is what made you more thirsty.

@arfie
Tryed those tricks and many other but thanks. :D But sketching doesn't take much talent just an open mind to own creative worlds or a concept. 98% of my sketches are scrapped garbage but with time find rare pieces that stick with me.

But already got my pixel art and usually keep all works with me cause each piece has something different and great I like in it. And because of my shakey hand easier style to work with (pixel by pixel art) even though one of most annoying long type of art styles.

So have found something that works but it is way to easy to shatter my creativity why I stay clear of critics (but then meet those people who offer one when none are asked for).

Recently started getting back on it due to one horrid comment that debased my works to nothing and really hope can stop letting others have such a bad impact on my creativity

That makes alot of sense since I have such an uptight nature in spine and specially have back problems and some neck problems since need jaw surgery, so maybe I should see a physcical jaw therapist.

A jaw specialist wants to get me physical therapy for my jaw and thinks I might not need surgery but he is a complete idiot and didn't listen that I took almost all the tests he wanted me to get and have all the xrays MRA's and even mouth molds of my jaw and seen a previous specialist that said I was in need of immediate surgery for jaw.

What you said is very supportive and thank you very much appreciate it hope to have more faith in me and in others also.

The sodium holds the water in so if in fact you are low in sodium as well, your body won't hold the water and get it to the right places. Salty foods might make you thirsty, but the sodium in them will hold fluids in and won't exacerbate possible dehydration. Gatorade has both sodium and potassium. I've probably given more info on Gatorade than anyone would ever care to know. LOL!!
