The homework gods are conspiring against me

Something is wrong with my hands. I can type relatively well – all be it a lot slower than normal – but I can’t seem to grip a pen. My thumb starts trembling and my hand shakes. This is a real problem since I’m trying to write notes and answer my stats questions – both which require me to be able to write. Not good. Not good at all.

I have no idea why this is happening today. I had no problems yesterday and aside from the crazy trembling when I try to write or type there doesn’t seem to be anything else wrong with my hands. There’s no pain. No swelling. No feeling of cramping. Just uncontrolable shaking. It doesn’t seem to be related to the problem I had with the muscle/tendon of my left hand a few weeks ago.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say this is freaking me out. I’m going to keep trying to write in the hopes that this is something temporary. As far as I’m aware there’s no Parkinson’s or Huntington’s in my family history for me to be concerned about.

Hoping this passes soon and I can start writing legible answers to my homework assignments. At the moment they look little better than chicken scratches.
