Re: MRI update for "eye episodes"

7andcounting,

Somewhere in the middle of Herceptin, I had a strange reaction visually. When I looked at things I began to be dizzy. This was frustrating re everything from watching a parade to doing intake assessments (on a computer) at work...during which I became nauseous. Eventually I changed my glasses and this seemed to help...Though I still have some limits visually (when multi-tasking). I never had Navelbine though.
