side effects

Glad to find out I am not crazy

I have been on Herceptin for 4 1/2 yrs.
Side effects.
Finger nails split and thin.
Finger tips cracked (I now wear fake nails to protect them).
Toe nail fungus.
Can't sleep
Medicinal "smell"
Runny nose especially when I eat something
Horribly dry eyes
Vision problems especially after treatment
Memory issues
Trouble speaking - forgetting words or completely drawing a blank. Also using wrong words or thinking one thing and saying something completely different.
Muscle and bone pain
Bloating and weight gain
Digestion problems
Congestion
ringing in ears
Prone to stomach and sinus disorders
And now my hands and feet are peeling. They burn and itch and even slightly warm water feels like it's scalding hot.
