Do you think a UTI is a valid reason to be off work? I overthink everything and worried if I’m being a bit over dramatic if I ring in sick. I’ve got antibiotics from the doctor today and she said she wants to see me again tomorrow to discuss results. UTIs are not fun and I just feel run down and tired. I have nothing on at work tomorrow and I also have to move apartments (mine needs major work) and I also feel crap so was thinking if I call in sick = can move on the morning and then rest the rest of the day. But I’m not sure UTI is a valid excuse to call in.

I only had to read your first sentence to have my answer ready: yes it is a valid reason to take off work. Take care of yourself and focus on your recovery.

Of course. You have an infection and you're sick. A man wouldn't think twice about taking off for something like that

Totally. They’re so uncomfortable. I think anything that requires antibiotics is a legitimate reason for sick days.
