Sick days.......

I experience migraines.

I have a headache now but I don't know what it is. If it's migraine or tension headache. It's a one sided banger of a headache. Feels as if my head is crushing and there's a band or a vice going around my head with just one side being hammered.

I can get up, eat go to the toilet.

I feel somewhat ok but just not very great either.

I must have had a sick day a month since June of this year. I am beginning to feel guilty. I don't know if I should go to work today and push through this or take a sick day.

Both home and work environments are both stressors.

Could you take some nurofen plus, have a sugary drink and a salty snack, take a walk in the fresh air and hopefully push through it?

If you're vomiting, nauseous and in so much pain you can't really sit up or go anywhere then cancel. But otherwise it sounds like you don't really need any extra sick days on your record. One a month is pretty high.
