Aching Eyes
Aching Eyes Hi,
Does anybody have experience of very tired and aching eyes following radiotherapy? It’s almost a month since I finished my treatment and I’ve been on Tamoxifen since Feb.
I feel tired most of the time but my eyes are getting me down.I was thinking of starting a course of study but wonder if I can cope with all the reading as it takes me all my time to read a few paragraphs and take in information.
I would be grateful for advice.
Love
Gill
wonder if its the tamoxifen not rads causing this.It can dry up not only your important places apparently!!!my eyes got very dry and wanted to shut them alot however this definitly improved in the 2 months l was off the tamoxifen.back on it 10 days and all symptoms back again.Rads -not had so cant comment-sure someone else can though.
love sharonx
Tired Eyes Hi Gill
I suffer from tired eyes and I now rely heavily on my glasses for close-up. However, I have always thought that the reason my eyesight has deteriorated is because I am on tamoxifen. It will be interesting to see what others think. I am big on juicing and hope that by juicing with carrots I am doing everything I can to help maintain my eyesight.
Please, Gill, don’t beat yourself up as you are only a month out of treatment. It may also be that your concentration is not at its best and you need to allow yourself to adjust at a slower pace. Don’t be sore on yourself.
Regards.
Jeannie
