    For me, this was either the high-dose prednisone, the CTX, or a combination thereof. I no longer have the shaky hands, but I am through (forever) with CTX, and the pred is, for the second time, down to 10 mg.

    I noticed it occasionally, probably while on the high dose meds.... had forgotten about it until now.

    Did it wipe out your WBC? That happened to me several times with CTX, plus lots of bladder infections so it will probably be the last choice for me too.

    Tremors are usually due to the high dose pred which is generally used along with the ctx.

    Officially, yes, Jim: Drac says I have had my lifetime quota, and won't order it again. Next up, if necessary (I truly hope it never becomes so): RTX.

    Not as much as I would have thought: WBCs never went into the LOW range, though they were heavily attenuated. In any case, CTX always made me nervous, as my father died of bladder cancer. True, he worked around industrial chemicals before the days of OSHA. But still....
