My head has been feeling cloudy and full of pressure and drowsiness. It's affecting my ability to walk. It makes me constantly tired. I'm always weak. I've forgetten things that I said a few minutes ago. My eyes are always burning and watering. My throat always
hurts. I'm also not eating much. Can the cloudiness of my head cause all these issues ? If so what should I do ?

Jwags. I too have accelerated cataracts since chemo. That Taxol was powerful stuff!!! The dry eye and eye changes was not expected either...

How are you ? I've been to the doctor and now waiting on test results.

First thing....call your oncologist. Second....the chemo stays around for a long time. Your body has had a lot of trauma and takes longer than anyone expects. If you are having radiation, that too makes you very tired. Be gentle with yourself, REST and exercise as much as you can ...even if it is chair exercises.

Charla. I had chemo back when you did and my eyes still go through burning and or cloudy. Eye Dr says it is dry eye. Undoubtedly related to the chemicals we took changing our body. I use drops for dry eye. It helps.

My first thought too was low blood pressure. Maybe low Vitamin percentages . I fall all the time resulting from these issues. I have to hydrate and eat small meals to eliminate the issues.
