to phone in sick tomorrow?

[MummikinsOopNorth]

I have an ongoing illness, and without going into too much detail, as I fear of getting 'outed', it causes me a lot of pain and constantly being sick and bleeding menstrually very heavily. It has been happening for over 2 years now.

I have had a bit of time off work during this time, but considering how bad it has got, i've soldiered in, and when it has been at it's worst lately, I have gone in every day and got on with things.

Just recently I have felt really under valued at work and a recent thing happened where I got blamed for something that was absolutely obviously not my fault in the slightest. I have also been in a lot of pain over the weekend and i'm sat at my desk right now, and I feel like my abdomen is about to explode. With being ill and everything, my energy levels are so low and my diabetes is becoming such a struggle to control.

If I am off, a colleague of mine may have to work a 14 hour day, which is why i've tried to soldier on, however, I feel like I don't want to give a shit anymore, so WIBU to call in sick tomorrow?

Thanks

YANBU to be off sick as you are genuinely unwell. I would mention it today though so that they have time to sort out cover.......just tell them you are feeling progressively worse as the day goes on and doubt you will be up to it tomorrow.

well if you're sick you're sick
in theory it's the management's fault if a colleague has to work a long day, but in reality it's hard not to feel guilty

Are you receiving medical care to deal with the problem?

doesn't even sound like you should be there now let alone tomorrow, YADNBU

Thanks for your replies ladies

I am alone in the office today and no one will be able to come to cover so I have no choice but to stay put.

I have gone back and forth to the hospital so many times, it's almost my second home, but whilst something is definately wrong, the tests are all coming back negative so any medication i'm being given, isn't working as it's not specific to my problem.

Sounds horrendous. On the incident where you got blamed for something which was not your fault, I would (entirely seperately from your illness) raise it with your boss - it's just not on. Hope you work out what is wrong soon re your health.
