I hate to tell you the bad news but most of us gagged a lot in the later and post Tx phase. Some days will be better than others as you have experienced. Mine went from fair to horrific. I spent a lot of time in a fetal postition on the bathroom floor by the toilet. I seem to remember that my vision was screwed up as well towards the end - I even flunked a vision test at the DMV. It's fine now.
