Hi, Teri,

    I am sure what I have experienced is not the same as you must cope
    with, but I had involuntary spasms for a couple of years, especially
    in my left hand, arm, shoulder, plus very bad "benign essential
    tremor". Fortunately, I eventually figured out (as my doctors
    apparently did not) that it was being caused by medication, which I
    have managed to get off. But meanwhile, I got very good at bracing
    my hands against each other and solid surfaces to do everything. I
    put bricks or other solid objects beside my work so I would have a
    place to brace my hands as needed. 

    I also was fortunate enough to find that I didn't shake quite as bad
    when I was concentrating really hard.

Good luck!
Noel
