Of course, then you've got to prove that whatever they have is contagious.
Most places I've worked have nonsensical sickness policies that police how many times you get ill over a given period then have you hauled up in front of your line manager to promise not to get ill any more, for all that's worth.
If you're genuinely ill, you're genuinely ill. If you're genuinely ill more times than you're "allowed" to be in 12 months or whatever, it's still genuine illness. This sort of policy does nothing to deter "sickies", since anyone with an ounce of sense will stay under the limit, it just penalizes people who try to keep their germs away from their work colleagues.
I think people who drag themselves to work when they're ill are generally motivated by "not wanting to be a burden", or some such. If their work needs to be done by somebody if they don't turn up, so they do turn up with their Lemsip and a big box of tissues, I can see how they think they're doing the right thing. To be fair, if they took a day off whenever they had a snotty nose or a sore throat, the same people making the "Typhoid Mary" cracks at work would be cussing them out for malingering. Can't win.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
By 8pm I'm feeling rough. At 10pm it's coming from both ends. I spent 8 hours mostly simultaneously shitting and puking. Eldest child had started puking at 11pm. Now Gran has it.
I thought gastric flu in Canada 13 years ago was bad but this has been something else. I lost 8.5 lbs in that eight hours overnight and feel absolutely nailed right now.
I’ve still not managed to shake off the dry cough that I got with the flu. Been three weeks now.
hopefully fit and back and singing by the time of the FB South Jam!
Had Flu since Dec 25th and still got it.
Last few days have been uncontrollable coughing, breathing problems and zero sleep. Lethargy abounds.
GP just smiles and says words, most of which do nothing.
Another night like last night and it'll be hosital again.
wish you well
the anti biotics are finally finally making a difference
apparently it’s not flu that’s going round, but a virus, so the flu jab won’t work for thta
I had AB's about 4 weeks ago and they did nothing but I'll ask again.
I have lymph node problems (CLD) and it may be that they're all swollen and fucked again, in which case there's something blocking the airway.
Another night like last night and we'll find out at hospital.
I've been sat up all night for months now. It gets very boring very quickly.
My wife has been in bed now for 7 days and I don`t think I have ever seen anyone so ill, it`s awful. Had the flu jab so feel like I`ve got off lightly in comparison.
I was off work for roughly a week with it, the fucker keeps trying to come back (probably because I don't fully rest up, once I feel "able" I drag myself to do something). Been working from home today as I feel grim again - my body just aches all the time and I keep falling asleep.
Been in A+E since 3am. I stopped being able to breathe.
Going to be admitted now and kept in for a few days it seems.
Seriously though, hope you’re ok and on the mend soon!
Been taking the ibuprophen,paracetamol.sudafed all the usual. Eventually gave up and went the docs. Chest infection and antibiotics. Hopefully on the mend now . Sick of going to bed before the kids.
Edit to add I hope you get well soon and back home.
Chronic Lymphoproliferative Disorder.
The problem is in the windpipe where it splits into the two lungs. When the lymph nodes "Proliferate" they over produce and block the airway.
It's awful.
Feels like a golf ball stuck so deep you'll never get it out.
Thanks for yours and other people's thoughts.
I hope I get over this too.
I had plans.
