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.
Do you do full days? My inititial return is 10-2 as I thought at least I can come home & rest. My doctor has said to be prepared to come off sick again if its too much.

I just get so frustrated not doing much, which in turn affects my mood.

Thankyou
