Time off work?!
Question: i was off work last week (wed/thur/fri) cause i've got REALLY bad tummy ache. i was fine over the weekend so i went in monday and after a few hours of being hunched over at my desk i was in agony. i completed the rest of the day but then didnt go in today. i have a sick note til next monday but i was planning on going back in tomorrow. i dont know what to do. The doc gave me mebeverine and omiprazole. this is the worst tummy ache ive ever had in my life. i've been in that much pain in feel nausious but i feel silly having time off work for tummy ache.
i also get the feeling work are miffed that ive been off. but if im ill, im ill, theres nothing i can do about it yeah?
originally the doc thought i had gastroenteritis but i didnt have D&V, so now he's given me a sick not saying 'epigastric pain'

If you have a sick note until next Monday, then use it. Your doctor obviously wants you to rest so that he may be able to figure out what you may have. Your work may be miffed but it is illegal for them to fire you if you have a doctors note. My advice is to stay home and rest. When you go back to work, I hope that all will be better. Good luck.
Sorry what was the question?
Get well soon....
I felt exactly the same the other week - I had a sick note for a week but came back into work, only to end up leaving again.
Just stay at home until your sick note runs out - learn by my mistake! You'll only wind your employers up more if you attempt to come in and end up going home again.
Rest up and I hope you feel well again soon
I detect a hint of strain here.
I think you suffer from work related stress apart from anything else you may have.
Try to get some "calmeds" or other stress relieving capsules you can get hold of over the counter.
Drink a vitamin substitute and lots of water.
I have heard of similar cases where work related stress was the only cause.
Good luck and rest up while you can
