Shaking pre-liver transplant: Does this stop or reverse?

Hi @rosemarya. Thank you for checking on me. 🙂 I've been to a neurologist (at Mayo) and he feels the additional shaking is due to covid (which I contracted the end of August) and the tacro, which has always made me shake. I was vaccine injured the end of 2021 and part of that is symptoms becoming worse when I get anxious. Right now the shaking isn't too bad. Manageable.

Hi...hope I'm not intruding but I too shake...well, not really a shake, but a tremor. It's my right hand and not really too noticeable except at certain times, especially if I'm nervous or run down. (I'm a lefty, so it doesn't interfere with writing or things like that. I'm 18+ years post transplant but in my case, the Mayo neurologist discovered it was caused by the fact I take Depakote to control seizure after I had a grand mal 19 years ago. It was then that the neurologist called to the ER discovered I had ESRD and the build-up of toxins caused the seizure. I was started on dialysis and given Depakote to control the seizures. (Transplant the following year). Never had another seizure but Depakote can have a side effect of tremors. So in my case, it's not my immunosuppressant meds or Covid (which I had 2 years ago) but this "anti-shake" med that causes my shake. Anyway, glad to hear you seem to be coping and have a good attitude. Cheers!
