Best thing would, I think, be a beta blocker which I could use as I need it. <br /><br />Thing is, my mood has been so good - so stable. It would be a shame to mess with it. And I know my doctor feels the same way.<br /><br />Take care, Jena.<br /><br />I have such good memories of times with you. Hope you're well.marjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01810913152746930742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33029643.post-76368074927704484552012-07-08T13:23:01.393-07:002012-07-08T13:23:01.393-07:00Hi Marja,
I just felt I should share. Lithium gav...Hi Marja,<br /><br />I just felt I should share. Lithium gave me wild tremors as well, so bad that I could not write, which is how my collage journal got started. I couldn't hold a fork without dropping it at least once in a meal, and I needed a straw to drink, because my hands could not successfully tilt the beverage into my mouth. <br /><br />They gave me a beta blocker to lessen the tremors and it was helpful. Propranolol. Used often for tremors of many causes. Since going off lithium I have regained control of my hands to a large degree but I think I will always struggle with a degree of tremors that is mildly annoying because it gives an image of nervousness when I am. It so. I am glad the ilium is working for you. But I encourage you to talk to your doctor about options to work out the tremors because I KNOW how disabling they can be. You should not have to trade one disability from another.<br /><br />Glad to hear from you. Miss you.<br /><br />Love, jenaJChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15334635689175224268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33029643.post-69236624683003245722012-07-07T08:33:55.783-07:002012-07-07T08:33:55.783-07:00I'm going to write a response to my own post. ...I'm going to write a response to my own post. When I think about it I'm pretty well off. I'm thinking of my friend, recently admmitted to hospital, suicidal as she is so much of the time. She's not able to live on her own - just can't manage. How she suffers!! Will probably have to go into a group home.<br /><br />I pray God will help me see the good things in life - and learn to live those things that are difficult. I pray for a thankful spirit.marjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01810913152746930742noreply@blogger.com
