I have this problem often. This is most common when there are stressors like a felt need to be quick with a response. The pot in the hand is a loss of focus.

I find that it helps to try to act with purpose rather than in an assumed natural flow. By this I mean, as I pick up the pot, I am thinking or planning my next move. Expecting the next move to come naturally or instinctively will lead to these situations. Some of us call them brain farts. They are embarrassing, and we can't believe they came out of us.

It helps to learn to stop to think. This means clearing your mind of conflicting thoughts and stimuli. I even close my eyes to try to get my focus. When my wife sees me close my eyes, she recognizes that I am struggling.

Glad to hear you found a neuro who at least will listen. I doubt the MRI or EEG will show anything. But it will help him rule out more serious injuries. It might be worthwhile to ask if the MRI could include images with your head turned sharply to the right and left. This can show weakness in the cervical ligaments.

My best to you.
