Hi, my husband is 57 years old he was a mechanic his who life. He has been retired from being a mechanic for 3 years. In the recent year his hands are starting to shake when he is trying to do something fine motor like screwing a screw in or putting glue on a small part. He seems to have no other symptoms. His hands don't shake at regular times. Who could it be? I assume he should see a neurologist.

My husband's had Essential Tremor for many years, which has gotten slowly worse over time.
He finds that going caffeine-free helps a bit.

Yes he should. By now, you may have taken him. I am a retired RN.
