Prednisolone hand tremors: What helps?

Hi @dm06, I can see you're worried about your son and just want things to return to the way they were before taking prednisolone to reduce the inflammation in his brain.
I'm tagging fellow members @gemini58 @mmas @lmcquade @pamelastewart5 @patrassi @santosha who may have had similar experiences with their child who has epilepsy and to offer some tips or thoughts.
I wonder if it might help to keep a diary of when he presses and rubs his hands. Take note if this seems to be associated with particular triggers. Might it be because he is feeling discomfort that you cannot see? Or is it an association of a memory cause distress, for example when he has to take medication? You might start to see patterns.
What helps relieve his stress when he rubs his hands? Does holding him help?

Thanks! It’s been tough for sure. I’ve kept a log but no pattern. He started with the hand issues/tremors while on Prednisolone then the tremors stopped. However, still having hand issues. He is 3 months off this medication. I truly Believe he feels something that we cannot see. The rubbing and putting pressure may give him some relief, not sure. The lack of his ability to express exactly what he feels makes it challenging. Yes, when he rubs and presses on them seems to provide relief. Thanks for sharing! I’m really hoping to get someone else view or maybe journey with this.
