I am back at work, but had to take 5 months off until I was ready.

I firstly started 1 day a week, then two days a week, before staying at 3 days a week for two months. It needs to be a phased return, where you also gradually increase your hours.

I have been working 4 days for the past month, and things are going ok. I am about to take my first holiday next week.

I just need to pace myself because too much reading and computer work gives me sore eyes. If I push myself too hard I will also fatigue and be less effective at my job.

If you are still having the symptoms you describe I would perhaps stay off work for a longer period if you can.
