Have You Worked While Sick?

[e.j.]

I slept for almost 13 hours last night and am feeling better and maybe even adventurous enough to eat some actual food today. All I had yesterday was 9 crackers and a bottle of sprite

Glad you're feeling better. If given a choice, I think I'd rather be sick with almost anything else other than the stomach bug!

I’ve never worked through a stomach bug or influenza but I have worked through bronchitis and sinus infections.

I had the stomach bug when I made the OP. The last time I threw up was 4am. I didnt throw up during daycare but 2 kids ended up being sick shortly after dropping off and sent home. At least I didnt have to worry about catching it, since I already had it .

Not just a cold ..but like strep, vomiting, flu..type stuff?

I've worked when having bronchitis, pnuemonia (secondary to a chest cold), ear infections and sinus infections.

I have worked while having diarrhea and minimal vomiting but given my intestinal issues I often don't know if it's an illness or a flare up in my intestines.

I did not work when I had ecoli (typed as EPEC strain, so one of the mild ones but it took me down due to the underlying intestinal issues resulting in mild septicemia) or norovirus. With the ecoli I worked a week before landing in the ER with septicemia because I thought it was a flare up.

I tend to wait it out if I puke or have diarrhea because I struggle with determining if it's a flare up or an illness.
