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.
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
