Hi, thanks for using Healthcare Magic.

Yes, we are real doctors with a valid certificate and I do understand your concern.

Your condition can be a side effect of long term use or higher doses of prednisone. However, we will respond differently. It is temporary if not at a high dose or long term use.

Which type of tremor do you have? If your arm is at rest do your hands shake? Or do they shake when you grip something? Is your body shaking?

I suggest you discuss it further with your treating doctor if this condition not goes away.

By re-consulting, the doctor may perform other physical examinations and other medical tests if necessary to determine the source of the problem you are experiencing and provide appropriate treatment. Drink warm tea, stop the drug if you feel there is one type of drug that aggravates your limp and shaking conditions, eat balanced nutrition, get enough rest and manage stress wisely.

Hope this helps.

Take care,
Dr. Nurul Faah
