Hi I have my first medical on Thursday set up by the job centre and just wondered what I am likely to expect as this is my first one,I am feeling much better lately apart from a few small pains which points to maybe my meds are starting to kick in a bit now (I hope so anyway).I have also been on Hydroxy for a week now as all side effects from Meth have cleared up and settled and don't seem to be havi ng any problems that I have noticed,how long are these likely to take to get any benefit as Meth can take up to 12 weeks just wondered if it will be the same as I need to go back to work as I really have no choice now as my money is getting capped,the amount of rent being paid keeps going down and down,like most I can not afford to be on benefits despite if I am well enough or not anymore, so I am going to look for work now to try and get something for up to 16 hrs and not weight bearing on my hands or wrists I hope I can get something soon now.
