Everyone I know who has been on high-dose pred has the shakes, though it is interesting that much of the med community seems to be unaware of that side effect. At least, it is not a regularly mentioned side effect. For me, it they were the worst in the late afternoon, and seemed to go along with a racing mind. Fixing dinner was an issue: while slicing onions, I could easily have sliced off a finger instead. To top it off, the shakes went hand-in-hand (so to speak) with cramping in the webbing between thumbs and forefingers. Dastardly drug, but we can't live without it.
