My eyes have been far better since being told that the brain scan was clear. It adds credence to the optician's theory that it may be stress-related migraine, just affecting my vision rather than causing the splitting headache. Rather paradoxical to think that a contributory factor leading to the degree of stress I was under being sufficient to trigger the vision distortion may have been the worry over why my vision was distorted. Still, the doctor will tell me more about that on Thursday, I'm sure. Though I'm anxious to get back to work and worried about the financial implications, I've decided to ask her for one more week of absence (as long as my eyes are OK) before I return - long enough to let the anti-depressants kick in. She said I'd know when the time was right to start taking them. I think that time is now. Despite the improvement in my vision, I can recognise symptoms in myself which have occured quite naturally as a result of recent developments and which I'd actually like to combat before they become any more established. If I go down, I'll go down fighting ;) Now, I guess doing that pile of ironing and then going to the gym would warm me up just as well as putting the central heating on and going back to bed. I wonder why it doesn't seem quite so appealing a prospect!
