Hi Susia, I was also surprised at the kevel of tremors after my transplant almost 5 months ago. Here is what has helped me deal with them:
1. Training your hands and focus with some form of handcraft. At first I cried out of frustration, then laughed, and finally gained enough control to feel some success.
2. When the tremors started effecring my gait and balance I called Mayo and got aporoval for physical therapy which I do twice a week.
3. The people on this blog topic reassured me that in 1 to 2 years as the tacrolimus level is lowered tremors become less frequent and less dramatic. Mayo also lowered my tac to 2 mg per day instead of 4 mg.
4. Lastly, I realize by being given a new life I have a new "me" and that brings new challenges as any change will. Acceptance makes all of the challenges much easier.
I hope this helps you. Barbara

@ajdo129, Congratulations on your recent transplant! You have shared some fantastic tips for living with your new organ. I absolutely love (and agree with) what you said: "Acceptance makes all of the challenges much easier." Thank you.

If you have shared which organ you received, I didn't see it. Which organ did you receive?
