Memory and ginkgo

2miraclesmom

I am still having that foggy feeling a year after my last chemo. It is extremely frustrating for me. My 6 yr old gets so upset. Yesterday I couldn't think of the word zip lock bag. (I wanted her to put her book back in it). Lets just say the screaming match that ensued was not pretty. Even though I have tried to explain to her that my brain doesn't work the way it used to, she still was very upset. She has a habit of treating me and speaking to me like I am stupid. When she does this it just makes me more frustrated and makes the matter worse. Friends have suggested I try ginkgo but I am not sure. I tried looking it up as to the implications with the bc, her2+ and such but could not find much. Technically I am er- but he said I could be er+ it just depends on the machine and how it is calibrated. In that case, I am just barely positive so we decided not to treat it as such. So does anyone have any infor or recommendations on something to shake this foggy feeling and get more of "me" back? I should say I don't always feel that way but it is most of the time I just can't think of a word or name. I can picture what it is and even describe it, i just can't think of the word. Kind of like tip of the tongue syndrome.
