Shaking Badly

Hi all, I know, it's been ages since I've been on line. I love you and miss you my friends. Even as I try to type this now, the shakes are so bad that I can't even use my left hand to type.
Does aanyone have any idea what exactly is causing ut? It does not seem to be the inhalers nor nebs treatments. Otherwise, I took myself off of Advair a while back, still using Spiriva and Xopenx. I doubt it's the pill to lower my heart rate, as since I started taking the inhalers, it got in there. Is it like a build up?
I can't get a straight answer out of my docs or their assistants. thanks, Jupiter4

When I was in the hospital I couldn't take the XopenX because it made me so nervous. I don't know for sure if that could be your problem or not. I can only use Iprotropium in my nebulizer.

Sometimes too high a dose of prednisone will cause this. Hope you feel better soon.

Maybe it is caused partly from your respiratory drugs in addition to other drug therapy ? Your pharmacy would be able to review the drugs you take and the possible side effects of combinations.

    I went to the doctor a while ago to see about my allergies. He rubbed my arm and stuck things under the skin. Nothing. He poked and prodded, his phlebotomist drew so much blood people thought that we were dating. The tests all came back negative. Then one day I went back and I told him that I had found the cause of my allergy.It turns out, I am allergic to betrayal.

    This isn't really bipolar related but there is never anyone on the parenting groups, this is the most active group I've been in.My 6yr old son has really bad seasonal allergies and they're in full force right now. He gets a terrible cough; he coughs all day and all night, making it hard for him to sleep, and his nose runs.I've tried every allergy medicine, OTC and RX, and none of them affect his...
