| Add Neoral review | Add Prograf review My experience has been great except for serious shaking or trembling of my hands and now my arms at night. I hear this goes away in time but I'm 18 months in and getting worse. Any help out there? I am dissatisfied with the severe effects of this drug. I have severe nerve and muscle pain. I will be an invalid soon. It is hard to accept the fact that this drug is used to give me life yet the life I am living is not worth living, not with constant and excruciating pain. | |||
