Such an interesting and informative post Jamie - and my goodness I am lucky and grateful to you for getting Photovoltaic out there and identifying my poems as love songs to greenery. Very best wishes to Valley Press and yourself.
Jamie I get exactly where you are coming from. I had what was eventually diagnosed as ‘ visual fatigue’ during first Covid lockdown - at a time when I was working purely at home & spreadsheets & working hours were multiplying.
It was basically allied with the long standing CFS/ME diagnosis (now I believe that is actually ADHD burnout). Essentially I couldn’t read screens or books (still struggle) but when I didn’t (don’t) need to focus my eyesight is fine and usually the associated migraine style headache lifts too.
Today I had early symptoms of this again so now I know what it is I took half day holiday, went back to bed for a few hours, had a sunset walk and a long hot bath. That’s my coping mechanism I have no doubt you’ll find your way to adapt.

Thanks Sarah, you're very welcome of course! (Did I come up with that subtitle? Will accept a pat on the back if so!)
You absolutely did! I could never have dared so to describe myself.

Thanks Debi. I'm definitely finding a way forward – it's been two steps forward, one back, but better than the other way round!
Nicely written Jamie
