I think "shaky" is correct.
This is a valid concern, especially if they shake when you are gripping an object. Maybe go talk to a dentist to see what they think or lay off the java!

Yeah sometimes these things can be diet related.
do they shake uncontrobllable during long procedures such as writing class notes for an hour or so. My hands absoutely shake a little after I weed the yard. for a couple minutes then goes away.

Just think of all the caffeine you will need to get through freshman and sophomore years of dental school... 😀
Tom,
I'm going to try to lay off the caffine during dental school and just take really cold showers every morning to wake myself up. Hopefully it works!
LOL I guess it depends on the person. Me, cold showers work for all of 15 minutes... After that I find myself dozing off again.
I think I account for 50% of the consumption of Diet Dew in Western New York. 😀
I don't know what they put in Diet Dew, but it's the only diet soda out there without that wierd aspartame aftertaste..
Back to Neuropimp's the original topic: If you are able to have a steady grip and measured movements with your thumb, index and middle fingers while the ring finger and pinky are braced against something, you are fine!
