Raj, I "shiver" on the affected side when I'm even just holding a piece of paper in that hand. Is that considered resting or action? I do not have small handwriting but handwriting on the unaffected side gets worse under stress, especially when holding the paper with the affected side. If I do not hold the paper with the "shivering" side, my handwriting is much better. This disease is very confusing.
