been off work now since early January due back in next week problem is that they keep changing my tablets and every time they do that my eyesight changes
changed my meds again last Fri so now the temp glasses I'm using are now no good went back to the optician and was told to give it at least two weeks after changing meds then another week for the glasses to be made means I cant work doc seems keen to get me back in work and I'm keen to go as well so now unsure what will happen over the next two weeks

just been referred to the diabetic clinic got an app mid April with the doc there but been told it could be May June before getting to see the nurse there
