Can you call in sick for a few days?

What are you struggling with at work? Is it the side effects or just unable to work, are you crying at work?

I started a new job and new meds on the same day. I actually threw up in the bathroom on my first day because the drug wasn't for me.

Now, on bad days. I try to drown out my thoughts and pain with music, and try to get my work done. I try to drown myself in my work to forget the pain.

Sometimes I'm listless and I just have to fake it.
