I was never the sharpest tool in the tool shed to begin with, always was a little bumble headed, I was always more of the artsy, creative type. Now I just feel like an idiot sometimes and it's been over 2 years since my chemo, still on Herceptin though. I stumble over my words terribly, i forget things. I ask the same questions over and over and don't remember the answer when told. This frustrates the heck out of my hubby, when I ask him 3 times in 5 minutes if he's let the dogs out. My Oncologist told me that short term memory loss is normal with chemo, he didn't mention it getting any better either. Joe...is Provigil a drug that is being used now, or is it still in trial phasaes? I'm going to have to check on that, I always feel that when I meet someone that doesn't know me they will think I am just plain dumb...sherryg683
