Edit
Tanja, simple tasks are the hardest for me too like you making a coffee and writing a letter.
when i was younger in my teens early 20's i too didn't want to socialise as everyone drinks, i felt embarrassed to go out to drink with my tremor, but my family wouldn't let me stay home where i felt relaxed and safe. and today i am so grateful to them because i now socialise. I can have drinks now especialy cold drinks because i just grab a straw and get my friends or husband to carry my drinks to the table. you will just find your own way that makes you comfortable.
the trouble i have is if theres no table to put my drink on but that hardly happens.
i type everything now rather than write and my kids help me fill out anything if i'm not at home where i can relax to just fill things out.
all the best and hope your husband helps you to socialise so you can have fun and feel great. and don't worry i've survived all the embarrassing moments where my hand shakes every drop out of my cup.
karen
