Sorry to post so often with stupid questions. I won't call my Onc cause I'm switching to a new one in May. Has anyone had leg cramps especially calves for the last two days? Also at the same time can't remember if I rinsed my hair or if I washed a certain body part. So I spent a little more time in the shower today. Its just a weird feeling. I have bad chemo brain but today felt really really weird. Or am I being paranoid.

No stupid questions.

I have weird chemo fog and random cramps all the time. No idea if I am just geting early Alzheimer's or just stupid.

The cramps for me are always around my lower ribcage.

I found this interesting because I've felt like that since late afternoon today. Not same symptoms, but told my daughter and husband I'm feeling weird. Really weak and out of sorts (much more than usual). Think I may be coming down with something, but not sure yet. Wonder if it's something going around? Anyway, hope you feel better soon.

Hi Kitty,

 Theres no such thing as a stupid question, how else are we going to learn. I swear by magnesium for muscle cramps I used to get them when I was on Gleevac I could never narrow it down to one certain thing. 

 Some days I feel disoriented, it gets so frustrating especially the memory thing. It's a good thing I have my wine to clear my head .

I can't tell you how many times I have been holding a pill bottle and I can't remember if I took the pill or not! When that happens I just don't take the pill.

Well, Billie, as far as I know, I didn't turn into a werewolf or anything like that, but thought sure I was going to. Maybe I did and just don't remember it. According to the movies I've seen, you don't remember it afterward. lol

 

I keep my pills in a container marked for each day of the week. My husband suggested that, because even in my better days, I was absent minded. Chemo brain has knocked it off the charts, so that little trick helps. Miss Kitty, I hope you're feeling some relief today

dede,

  I keep my daily pills in a pill container, but if I take something else like tylonal or something that I don't take often is when I get confused.

 All the werewolf movies I've seen they always wake up naked in the zoo, no clothes no memory but they somehow manage to get home unnoticed and they never tell anybody about it. 

 If I woke up naked in a zoo I'd just say Damn Brain Fog .

Yes, I've had muscle cramps for sure. Some have found that magnesium can help with this. Brain fog is also really common with these drugs. I hope they both pass soon for you.
