He he @"Kiwi Angel",
Thanks for the mention. :wink: At least it was a work colleague you called by the wrong name and not your husband!
Glad to hear you're doing ok. I shall keep my whinging to a minimum. LOL
Probs go to your optometrist and get your eyes checked just to make sure. 6 weeks after starting Tamox version 1 I needed reading glasses. Never had any problems up until then. Couldn't read anything at night or dull light. Still can't. Even the optometrist rolled her eyes when I told her what drug I was taking. Recommended 12 monthly check ups on corneas. Common problem according to her.
The fog.
As you will know I ditched all my supplements last time. I have added the Ginko, brahmi back in without anything else. It was making me nauseous at the start, but hey, we've all done nausea before so I persevered.
If I could have found my glasses (unsurprisingly I had forgotten where I had left them) and been able to read the label it wouldn't have been an issue. You are supposed to take them with food. Ooops.
So this week I have noticed an improvement with the fog and memory. Maybe they are working?????. No improvement with my penchant for getting sentences and words out backwards though. Just an overall feeling of more clarity I guess. This will be week 6 back on and when it normally starts going to absolute shit for me. We'll see if they work through the next few weeks. Fingers crossed.
@Sanra. How did you go on your break off it??
