Feeling muddled headed

[linja]

Does anyone know what I mean? I feel slightly giddy and muddled headed. I'm on my 4th chemo (2nd lot) and its making me feel tearful as well as frightened. Any help please. Linda x

Going through chemo must be a very horrible experience both physically and mentally. I'm not surprised you are muddled headed. Any emotional trauma will have an effect on the brain. I may be wrong here. But I would suggest if you could start doing some guided relaxation it might help your brain to clear itself.

Do you attend any support clinic (like a Maggie's centre ) . I'm sure they would help.

If not your GP.

So sorry for what you are going through. When does the chemo stop ?

Take care

Hi deejames,

Thank you for your reply, I think you are correct and I will be seeing my oncologist dr on Thursday and I will talk to them about it. My GP is rarely in his surgery and really doesn't seem to know anything other than 'yes it's the illness/your age/ just go for a long walk!"

I have got a couple of relaxation cds I will give them a go.

Thank you.

I am sad for you and yes almost anything can be a reaction. Sad too that you are on your second course. Sending hugs and love.

Thanks for your answer and thank you for the hugs and love, I look around when attending the hospital (Guys) and see hard working staff being so positive so I feel I must be like that for them. Linda x
