When is it okay to go home sick from work? I don't do this often, but I feel really sick to my stomach. I've got other stomach issues, and I just feel like crap. I want to go home and crawl in bed.

I'm afraid if I go home, I'll start to feel better...and then be guilty for not staying at work.

And...I'm going to my b/f's daughter's basketball game tonight (she's a cheerleader)....if I don't stay at work, it probably means I can't go to the game (not fair). I don't even know if I'll feel up to it.

I dono't know whether to go home or not....
My boss knows I have a chronic stomach condition and I mentioned to her that it was bothering me earlier in the week. She would understand

HELP!

Thanks for the response. I did take a half day. I can home and slept for an hour and a half. Now, I'm feeling better, but feel kinda bad that I didn't stay. PLus, what if tomorrow is worse and I don't want to go in?

Doc still hasn't called. I don't know how much time to give her.
I called on Tues, had bloodwork after work on Tues...and am waiting to hear back...

It's official, I'm a hypocondriac! Na, Idk if that's true. But I did get the call back from my doc and my labs are fine. I have nomral levels of everything - no flare.

Maybe this was all in my head? I wasn't feeling well, so maybe it was a bug??
