Hi
Omg your lucky no one stole your car. That's scary.
I must say since the pharmacist figured out 1 of my meds was interacting with my Zoloft and I have stopped it flexeril I am feeling way better. Back at the gym doing the treadmill. Started doing protein shakes everyday at noon. Increasing protein helps alot. Maybe you shld talk to your dr about trying a different AI drug. Good luck hope you feel better

Use post it notes.

Do the NYT Wordle and other puzzles on there.

Tell your Dr. that you are having memory problems from Anastrozole.

I think that good spelling gets lost as we age….

@green1 My experience with age related memory problems, - from what my doctor says, and what I’ve researched, usually involves episodic memory - the what, where, when, of daily events. Where you parked your car, when is an appointment, what you needed at grocery.
Confusion isn’t really on that list, I don’t think. (I’m not qualified to give you medical advice! This is my experience, I’m 71!) I did have some confusion, and brain fog, on a higher dose of tamoxifen. I don’t have those on a lower dose.
I do now have to think twice to spell some words I’d normally just know. I think my memory is a little worse with the lack of estrogen due to the hormone therapy.

Leaving your car on? Can happen to anyone with the keyless systems. At 63 I left my car on in the parking lot at work when I arrived and a coworker noticed on her way in. Back then my brain was working quite well. Well enough 🥴 to be embarrassed in front of my work group!!!!

As others have mentioned here, a change in the type AI, dose adjustment, might help reduce confusion.
