Prograf and tremors
Posted: 07-10-08 16:10pm

I had my kidney transplant on April 1, 2008. My chief complaint is the tremors that the Prograf causes. Not only do I feel the tremors in my hands but feel the shaking in my "core" (torso) extending down into to my knees and ankles. This feeling makes me feel weak and insecure in walking. Therefore, I feel as though I can't exercise properly because of the shaking and weakness I feel. The labs keep coming back great and the doc says I am where I should be as far as the healing. Has anyone else experienced this problem and does it get better? I have complained enough to the doc that he is referring me to a neurologist... he thinks they may be able to "tweek" some meds to help... will let you know how that works.

As for the rest of it, I thank God every day for my sister (who was my living donor) and giving me another chance at life.
