It’s much better, yes. Better to take a couple of days to yourself now than push on and get even sicker with a longer recovery time. I hope this passes soon.

That was my feeling as well.  The friend I’m staying with is a workoholic and she has essentially kept herself sick for like three weeks by forcing herself to go in.  Granted, she’s got some other shit going on that I don’t, like allergies and a deviated septum, but she kept making herself go to work the second she felt even a little functional.  

I told her to stay home and do nothing one day and she said she’d done that.  I got back later to hear that she’d gone into work for an hour after she started to feel better.  She’s had to take more days off than I think she would have initially if she’d just done nothing like I suggested.
