i don't know the difference between "postural" tremor and "intention tremor". I know that I have some intention tremor. This showed up dramatically recently when I was giving myself injections of Interferon. I was stabbing my hand when I tried to remove the cap on the syringe, then stabbing again when I tried to remove the syringe from the vial. I had to give up, after causing bleeding three times. I think this is an intention tremor. I have strength in my grip--quite a lot! However, when I try to move like described above it does
not work--is this called "fine" tremor, or is it "intention tremor". I call it spasticity but
I could be wholly wrong. Neuros never filled me in in this. I have had episodes when
young where I could not make the pen do writing, but now it's mostly not a big problem,
just a little problem....I tend to write "big" because it's easier.
