"CCD" If you have a support of your immediate supervisor, would you consider a meeting with your coworkers and tell me right out? It is wise that you declined some high profile involvement in order to reduce potential stress and to do your present job to the best of your ability. The future medication you may get may somewhat reduce your tremor. You are not saying your age, but you may want to work for many more years and the positive environment is crucial. Best wishes.
