Tremors post kidney transplant

@susia, I had tremors and shaky hands after my transplant, too. In the beginning it was particularly frightening for me, but I learned that my body was reacting to the medications. As my medication doses were adjusted, I had fewer tremors and hand shakes. I remember how difficult it used to be for me to use a pen to write anything because my hands shook.
Over time, while always following the advice of my transplant team for my lab schedule, my dose of tacrolimus leveled out, and I have been on a stable dose with stable tacrolimus levels for a while now.

I have learned that my concentration and focus seem to be affected by my meds. So I need to have quiet in the car when I drive, and I can no longer multi task like I used to. I have adjusted. I have been taking tacrolimus for 12 years with my liver/kidney transplant and continue to have labs and tacrolimus level tested.

Susia, How long ago did you receive your kidney transplant?
