I don't have an actual disability as such but I do have a chronic back injury which requires constant medication. Due to complications with my previous medication I've been changed to some different drugs, one of which affects my mental 'acuity'. Basically, I pretty much always feel like I've just downed 2 quick beers on a hot day.
So although I'm legally allowed to, I don't feel right to drive at the moment, though I expect I'll build up a tolerance to the effects eventually and be ok to drive again. In the meantime I have been continuing to use my machines but I am finding it much more difficult than usual and I'm much more prone to making stupid mistakes (and I usually make plenty of those anyway). So I'm wondering how others deal with side effects of medications while machining and if you've any tips on dealing with the issues that crop up.
