@joyces it's the Prednisone that causes the tremors at least with me. I'm on only Tacrolimus only now they took me down to 0 during the first 6 months on the prednisone. I'm actually heard that prednisone is usually one of the first to eliminate because of the tremors and lack of appetite which for me was a blessing. Food for me that first 6 months tasted awful.

@danab I had terrible tremors. I couldn't hold a fork, spoon or pen. When I tried to read the book was all over the place. I was taken off prednisone within the first 4 months post transplant. My appetite was zero but that was also caused by my 4 ERCP's to insert a stent to clear a blocked bile duct. I got pancreatitis 3 times and could eat no solids for 7 weeks.
