everyone has it. its when your adrenaline thins out in the blood stream. you need to control the rush, make it last 10 min.

or be confident to keep it at a minimum

masturbating before a match helps, it regulates your blood

wwhhaaaattttt uUUuu mmmmeeaaaannn???ßßß

Not during gaming, I mean in everyday life... if I put my hand out straight, it shakes.. more so than other people I've compared with who are not gamers...

Maybe it's something else and not connected but thought this would be a good place to ask to see if there's any correlation

i've seen plenty of people's hands do that, and haven't noticed any correlation to gaming.

If you take sleeping pills (I had to, for five years), then I've found that caused shaky hands, particularly when exercising.

I took 150mg of Diphenhydramine to sleep (is an antihistamine) to get to sleep, and it took me ages to figure out what the cause of my body shaking was.

Just in case; hope you get it sorted, or figure out how to minimise/live with it :)

I do genuinely think it has no correlation to gaming however.

Everyone who specced me playing accused me of either cheating or parkinsonism for my shaky hand movement. In my case I became informed about the problem circa 1998 (during table tennis games) while I started playing Quake only in 1999. The neurologists say it's likely to be some encephalopathy with cerebellum symptoms due to birth trauma. And birth obviously preceded gaming)
Then there are other symptoms like more shakiness after certain blood flow changes: hot bathroom, sports, sex. And this appears less neural, more vascular cause.

The correlations I found for myself are:
1) After overheating (from tennis, etc.) I have troubles hitting (in Quake), because the hand is less controllable when strained even a little.
2) When it's cold, or when the desk I play at is cold, I don't hit at all, because the hand can only make huge movements, not tiny ones.
3) None of this has gone better or worse since 1999. There were some long periods of stable environment temperature good enough for me and then I hit like 40+% LG, but that doesn't last.

TL;DR
you are really better off visiting a doctor

Mine shake a lil, nothing too major.

Maybe its parkinsons.

If I ever get proper ill where it halts my enjoyment of life and I live with pain its a bullet through the head for me.

Death or growing old don't scare me as its inevitable, someone wiping my ass and being in constant pain does.

Wow I bet you've made this guy feel so relieved with that reply. Granted gaming forum and health questions are a poor mixture, but still :s

To predator: if you're concerned, go to your gp. My hands get shakey after exercise, I find that stretching my forearms and wrists helps calm it out.

chicks love it

only get it when playing duel and winning against someone I shouldn't be

See a doctor, u won't find much useful on ESR I'm afraid :)

"shall i make an appointment to see my doctor or make an esr thread? silly question"

HAHHAHAHHAHAHAH

Only asked to see if other gamers experiencing the same thing, I wondered if it was to do with gripping the mouse for all them years

Wasn't after a resolution/diagnosis, I'll seem my doctor about that ;)

I'm experiencing the same symptoms.
But a different cause. Nowdays its because i have to lurk the dark shadows for trolls who come out of nowhere to ninja/raid my house on a late sunday evening.

Not even slightest, my hands are stady and calm, its probably connected to strenght of the whole arm cuz most of u guys have twigs insted of mans arms, peace brothers

Sooo true my shakyness went down quite a bit with real exercise and weight lifting regularly.

That's Cancer beyond a reasonable doubt.

infamous handbot 2.0

Come on, that comment is worth at least a single plus. Was perfect fit. I basically fed it up on a silver spoon...

Deserves many, but I can only do so much :(

me too!

Actively playing for 10+ years, just checked putting my hand straight and its completely steady. Even tho i rage like crazy, that my neighbours say they gonna call the police. So i dont think its somehow connected.
Only getting shakin ingame during those moments of rage or/and being nervous for result much. But guess its natural cause adrenaline is beyond limits when one gets that mad

finally ESR is back to normal

I have this but certainly not from gaming. My grandma has this too. I know a few friends who have it and never played a lot of video games.

It gets better with alcohol and caffeine (no joke).

cityy got the Cure for it Kappa

ever tried CBD (cannadibinol)? u can get it as 4% oil or even as hemp-flowers or hemp-leaves, fermented 4 smoking or vaping (with no THC ofc). tell if worx

ive tried different sativa and indica's and none of them really help for the shaking
but i got some tests and magnesium deficiency was the reason
i started taking some extra magnesium and focused on such a diet
and the shaking is nonexistant now :D

Maybe you're just the shaky type

If you consume a lot of caffeine could be causing it too or maybe with age sometimes ya just got to shake

Not ever had that problem. Or heard about it being a problem for gamers (or anyone else).

You're screwed mate.

They probably drink as much as I do
