Hi Tess,

I'm curious how you are feeling today with the old glasses etc? Has the compensation come back or are you still "paying" for using the new glasses like I am for the LCD? I'm not much better myself at the moment. It seemed I was getting there again last week and then the dramas with my fiance set me right back again. The set back didn't really hit until a few days later. I'm not sure what to do on the PC front anymore either. I think I over did it yesterday and, as a result, felt really rough last night and this morning. My head felt like it was swirling inside - weird feeling. Also felt quite low from the non-stop vertigo yesterday whilst on the PC.

I took most of today off today and am only now back on the little powerbook - so far so good. Also saw the counsellor for more of the technique she showed me plus anxiety management. At least the good news is that I've totally killed the anxiety - yay.

Hope you're weekend is going well and am keen to here of your progress.

Best to you...Scott :cool:

Hi Scott
Good news that you've totally killed the anxiety - thats really Great! It sounds like the counsellor you are seeing is really good. Im going to look up the emotional freedom techniche you mentioned in a previous post.

I think my progress is much like yours really. I was feeling quite a bit better for a few days last week but then I overdid it on my mini break, and since then its been a bit of a struggle to be normal and get on with things. Ive managed to go to work every day - although its been difficult but Im glad Ive done it. The week at work has been stressful, lots of hours intense working at the pc, which has made me feel worse - although Im pleased it didn't develop to vertigo. Im still very shaky, for some reason today so far is not good (12pm Saturday), I am shaky in my arms and hands as well as my legs, and Im feeling nauseaus from the dizzyness/wierd head. I am sure that this is still the effect of decompensation from the new glasses - I was better than this before I got the new glasses. It feels sort of an intense head (not headache), the dizzyness feels intense and just extends to my body. I hope that makes sense. Its not absolutely disabling, in describing it I have probably made it sound worse than it is. I think I am probably better than you, but I don't feel like rushing out and doing too much.

Im just fed up today, wish I never had this, like you Im sure. I just want to get on with things as normal. I try to be upbeat normally and focus on the positives, but I feel worn down and I am sorry that Ive offloaded it all onto you.
Good news is that for other reasons I have got all my money back for the glasses, so at least if I never wear them then I haven't wasted lots of money!

Hope you manage to get some work done today on the pc without feeling too bad. Sounds like you did the right thing to take a break, I hope it has helped. Are you still on the slightly higher dose of the ssris or are you trying to wean down? Do you think that the ssri has helped with the recent stress?
Let me know how today goes for you, and hoping its a better day than yesterday.
Best wishes to you
Tesss
