Magnesium to help combat 'brain fog' on Tamoxifen/AIs? NZ trial suggests YES

Are you experiencing cognitive issues (even if you haven't had chemo but are on AIs - brain fog?) 

A trial in NZ is looking at using magnesium to mitigate those memory and concentration issues particularly for women on Tamoxifen. 

They suggest it should help with other AIs too.

    That’s interesting @arpie I had my annual oncology appointment recently and said that I felt like I had brain fog which she told me a lot of women on AIs complain about. She said I could have a break if I wanted but I’m more than half way through so I’ll keep on for now. I wish I’d come on here before I went to the appointment but never mind. 
    Last year I saw a registrar and she didn’t believe it as it wasn’t on the information she read on the computer! Told me to see my gp for a memory test.
