Maybe its just because of my severe and long lasting symptoms, but I think it's an injustice to pretend that they're no big deal, when that's clearly not always the case. Or maybe I'm just blowing smoke out my a.s.s and tremors are really no big deal in the grander scheme of things. Maybe I should of been ok with shaking like a fool...

On a more positive note, I have noticed that the more I practice, the easier it becomes.
I even managed (with only minimal mess) to paint my nails 2 shades each again, not too long ago.
So maybe part of the solution is to keep at all the things your hands struggle to do.
Lia, I think you make some really good points here. Your doctor seems unreasonable for not even trying another mood stabilizer and just prescribing lithium (given the severity of your tremors).

As much as I've convinced myself that (my) small tremors are ok, I guess it all comes down to whether the benefits of a medication outweigh the negatives.
Thanks for this!
