Uncontrollable shaking -- a new symptom

I've been noticing a very annoying symptom lately. It has nothing to do with medications (I opted not to take anything for my FM), and although sometimes I can go a while before it happens and other times it's instantly, it is almost always happening on some level now.

I sew garments and do other things that require fine hand motions. If I'm lucky, it takes a while to start, but other times like today, it's the minute I start working. I'm calm, relaxed, and looking forward to the work when WHAM! My hands start shaking so much that I'm jabbing myself with pins and hardly able to hold fabric to pin together (I do a lot of hand sewing, but I really notice extreme shaking during the pinning part many times, since that does require more thought and fine motion for me), and struggling to line things up properly.

It's very frustrating, and yet another reminder I am not at 100%. I feel clumsy, and can no longer work on things for very long (my eyes also get tired quickly, so aside from our usual aches and pains, there's always something more to keep me from working a little longer). I just want to finish my projects, be pleased with the results, and have fun wearing what I've made with my friends instead of missing deadlines due to either not being able to sew or having to cut sewing time short.

Anyone else notice anything like that happening? I won't be going to my rheumatologist again until June, and I have other things I really need to talk to my regular doctor with at my yearly physical because I've had to keep putting them off (I'm not sure when I'll go for my physical yet). I'll be sure to mention it to both doctors, but I guess I just needed to share with others and even see how common it might be.

Thanks for your time.

Thank you for the reply!

Yes, caffeine is one of those things I have a hard time staying away from even though I should give it up entirely. I'll try to cut back more and see if that helps some (I don't think I could give it up entirely). I was wondering about it as well, but it's just weird how it really only hits when I'm trying to focus on more detailed things involving my hands. It could be one of the factors, at least.

I have had shaking mainly in my left hand for a few years. It starts with my thumb and sometimes spreads until my whole hand is shaking bad enough I can't pick up a pen. This was one of the symptoms that started me on the long jurney it took to be DX'ed with fibro. At the time I saw a neurologist. He did several tests including testing for epilepsy. Of coarse all the results normal. I have read this is not that uncommon with fibro.

One of the things I strugle with the most is "is this fibro or something new". We have so many wierd symptoms. I sometimes think I'm losing mind!

I get shakey when I am allergic to something (like a food product)  - one time I was trying "i can't belive it's not butter"   my hands could not stop shaking like I was a bad drug addict going thru withdrawls.  But I always have a little bit of hand tremors.  I think some of it has to do with pain, and just the way my body is releasing all the discomfort I am in. 

I sometimes go through bouts of shaking my hands. Sometimes it's hard to use a mouse on the computer. I just add it to one of my fibro symptom. It's getting longer. Lol

I used to work with my hands a lot as a carpenter (but fibromyalgia is starting to say "don't do that") so I always thought my hands shaking were due to my constant hammering and other tasks causing my hands to vibrate. Now its been 3 months since I stopped working to get ready for college and the shaking is getting worse! I honestly have no idea how to stop it because I don't have any caffeine, sugar intake is minimum, vitamins are all where they're supposed to be, and no allergic reactions lately. I have yet to find any method that lessens the shaking I'm having so I'm going to try to eat more because I usually go with one meal a day and see how that works out.
