Don't push it! I learned the hard way. It will just make it worse and you will miss even more in the long run. Get your rest. If you have to, look into FMLA.

Yes! Go to doctor, get a note. I have this issue all the time. My employer only requires a note after 3 consecutive missed days, but my immediate supervisor always wanted a note to cover himself. I have FMLA Documentation on file too...so HR and my department knows I have flares and will miss work because of them.

But a doctor note is always a good call!

I learned the hard way not to push it. Fully recover. If you go back a day too soon you'll be out another week from pushing yourself. It's a hard balance. You pressure of wanting to speed up recovery and getting back to work and also the stress involved wit being sick and job worries. The stress will exacerbate the flare. Downward spiral. All you can do is rest, rest, and know you will come out of the flare. I hope you are feeling better.

I know how you feel I push it to the limits and go work but last week ended up in hospital . Take care of you first!!
