I want to go to work today but I am sick

I think you should rest and not work yet. Anyway, you cannot perform well with your work if you are sick and it will just get worse. Get well soon. Happy New Year!

Last January, I had minor surgery. It was scheduled for a Friday; although, I should have been up to going back to work on Monday I had planned to take an extra day off just in case. Satureday, I felt good. Saturday night I started not feeling good and I felt worse Sunday morning. Went to the ER. They thought it was just a UTI infection, gave me antibiotics and pain medication. I was supposed to go back to work on Tuesday, but I truthfully was not up to going back so I took one more day off. It was the maximum that I could take off 3 days in a row. Come Wednesday, I knew I had to go to work. I woke up Wednesday morning with a low grade fever, but still I had to go to work. I was just happy that it was Wednesday so half of the day would be meetings, so I just had to make it through teaching the morning classes. I summed all my energy, and I barely made it through the morning. I went home soon after the last meeting. I knew I needed to get some work done for the next day, but I did not feel good at all. I went to bed hoping some extra rest would help. I woke up at 2:30 in the morning with chest pains and it was hard to breathe. Went to the hospital. They said I had pneumonia. I was in the hospital for about 3 days. It took me about 6-7 weeks until I had recovered to the point that I felt well enough to return to work. Regardless of how much you really want to go to work, you have to realize that your own health comes first. If you truly are not up to working stay home. The lesson that I learned is that employers assume that you are at work that you feel well enough to perform your job. So, truly if you are not feeling well enough to perform your job at 100% it is best to take the time off to get better at home. In addition, going back to work to soon will only result in you sabotaging your own recovery.

These ailments are no fun but usually don't last long. Thank goodness. Double pay will be sad to miss out on. Maybe next time they have it you will be well. Or can make it up some other way. Hope you are well soon.

Oh, this is not good. If you have a fever accompanied by all this other stuff, you should stay home until your fever breaks. You don't know if you ate something bad or you have the 24 hour bug, but to be safe and not spread germs better to stay home, rest up than to spread your sickness around to your co-workers.

Well i suggest stop asking for tips here and go to doctor and ask for tips. he is the right man or women. If you are sick take it seriously and try everything to make yourself stable. Well I pray that you get better and be able to work. Till then rest and rest. All my best wishes to you.

We all have some reasons for not going to work. But the best reason we cannot go is we feel sick . Well we cannot avoid going to office just for some minor fever. But if it is genuine and you are noy feeling wellthen you should not go. This has two advantages in my opinion. First you will feel freash and energetic and start your work enthusiastically. Second you don't have to consult the physician again. Plus you can be very confident about your work the next day. So have a good day and take rest!

If you are sick, you should not be at work. I'm certain that none of your colleagues would be happy with picking up your sickness--an illness that is quite contagious. My rule about sick people is that they should stay at home. That applies to children as well, of course. Stay home; don't spread your illness, and please do wash your hands frequently so as to try to avoid spreading your illness to anyone else in your household.

These days I never get sick as I make sure that I always eat pretty well and keep active. I have a few tips for dealing with gastro. The first is to make sure that you drink loads of water, much more than you think you may need. Even if you do not feel thirsty, drink anyway. Also, drink coconut water for the electrolytes if you can rather than those nasty looking weirdly coloured sports drinks. You do not want to be ingesting nasty chemicals. With regards to antibiotics. When you are better, make sure that you replace the good bacteria in your gut by taking some sort of probiotics. Antibiotics will kill the bad bacteria in your gut that has caused the gastro, but they will also kill the good bacteria that keep you healthy. I never take antibiotics as I never need to. This is because I always make sure that I eat fermented foods and drinks that have lots of probiotics in them. Keeping the gut full of good bacteria is one of the keys to good health as they will stop any bad bacteria taking hold in your body if there are enough of them and they are strong.

Well you can't do anything about it. Even if you want to work, but you are sick. You need to rest and catch up on your work when you're well.

I was about to ask if you are working in call center but I remember your reply to me in my post I've created. I've actually experienced that already but not that much case as yours. The doctor just recommended me on what medicines should I take then he also told me not to eat the following foods that will affect my stomach such as spicy, sour, milk and other more.

When my son was 3 years old, he was hospitalized caused of Gastroenteritis. He was admitted for 3 days and he consumed about 4 bottles of dextrose. We really didn't know what was wrong with him at first coz he just started vomiting and had diarrhea. I thought I could control it with the medications given by my brother in law who happens to be a physician. But it went on for 2 days. His body became frail and he lot 10 pounds right away. And so we decided to send him to the hospital. Thank God that we were able to send him to the hospital just in time or else, he would be in a very bad condition ever. It happened when I have just given birth to my youngest son. I was really so worried coz during that time, there was a Super Typhoon as well. I wasn't even back to work that time coz it was just about a few weeks after I gave birth. It was one time that I was really crying coz I though that my son would never recover.

Just relax and take it easy. It seems that you have done a lot of research about your illness. Now, it is time to do research on getting better and focusing on your health. Focus on health and well being. Focus on inner strength and inner peace. Listen to some tranquil music. Eat healthy. Focus on getting better and being back to health. Take care.
