Oh, absolutely. I'm actually on a very strict "If I feel sick I go home" policy at the moment, after feeling guilty about taking a week off, and going in, and thus getting sick for another week, and then feeling guilty and going in, and then being sick for another week..and then going "Sod this for a lark, I am staying home until I am really better".
The thing is, my health issues are largely invisible and not generally that unpleasant, they just make me sleepy and stupid (and nauseous) It used to be that when I got sick I got sick, which was a lot more unpleasant but at least I didn't feel like a big faker. (On second thoughts..I prefer the current situation. Guilt doesn't make your nose look and feel like big raw tomato)
