Red face Tremors

I've noticed that when I'm doing something that requires the use of one specific hand (like putting toothpaste on the toothbrush or spooning something into a container) I have a very noticeable tremor.

Especially if I am trying to hold my hand steady and not spill something (like a spoonful of hot soup) my hand shakes uncontrollably.

I looked up "intention tremors" and got some good info. Here is the link I found: http://www.ask.com/wiki/Intention_tr...=2800&qsrc=999

I wonder if this just gets progressively worse or if it can improve over time. I noticed my hand was shaking when I was trying to eat last night. I tend to make a mess now and it looks like a two year old was sitting at my place at the dinner table.
