Eyes tested, new specs ordered, getting them on the 25th. Cateracts are no problem, eyesight with the new glasses ok for driving. Just got to get rid of the 'wobbles' now!

So what is causing you to have you the "wobbles"?

No idea at the moment. If the 14day issue of tablets doesn't stop them I will try to get an appointment with my gp. I was told that the attack could last up to 4 weeks.

At least the eye problem is not as bad as I thought, so no cataract op needed yet.

I hope you will soon be feeling a bit better. Good news about your eyes though. What tablets are you taking at the moment?

For the Vertigo (aka wobbles) I am on Stugeron tablets, 30mg 3 times a day. It seems to be helping

Hi

Getting old certainly is a pain, and not for the weak-hearted. But it’s better than the alternative!😉

I haven't got time for the alternative!
