I've been meaning to ask for a while. While resting my hand on the settee at night I notice that my right hand has a slight shake - nothing major but it's been going on for a while. I have been putting it down to using the iPad too much which is more than likely it, but recently I've thought could be a form of neuropathy? Just wandered if anyone else has had/is having similar hand tremors. Husband says I should go to GP and just have it checked out at least. Feel a bit of a fraud as it's not affecting my writing, work etc, and it's not so noticeable in the day - much worse at night.

Get it checked out Riri - it could be something serious or nothing at all - no point in guessing, you'll just keep worrying unless you get it checked.
