On its own, probably not. I would think it would have to be accompanied by more symptoms than that.

I think it's a sign of the lack of care for education and laziness, mostly. It's the txt generation.

Is it affecting only one of your hands?

The one hand is just used to doing other things.

Probably just way too much coffee. After 10 cups I'm all over the place.

Eat less salt, drink alcohol less. It happened to me when I was eating too much fast food at an old job.

not necessarily, my typing skills tend to degenerate when i'm tired, not concentrating properly or drunk.

...when in doubt, visit your doctor and find out, that's the better alternative than guessing what's going on.

This is what I found on the intarweb"
Quote:
The symptoms of stroke are distinct because they happen quickly:

* Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm, or leg (especially on one side of the body)
* Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding speech
* Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
* Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination
* Sudden severe headache with no known cause
I would say it would be loss of overall function, and not just typing. I think I hit the backspace three times while typing this to correct my crappy typing skillz.

Well you have 12 new posts today plus several new threads, so I'd say your typing is just fine and no need to worry about stroke

Maybe you just need your ego stroked?
