Depends how bad you are and how long it lasts I suppose. I think I might take a bit more for a couple of days and see if that made me feel better. Not saying you should mind.
How are you feeling, Temoral? Better, I hope….😊
I think Sick Day Rules really apply if you are ill enough to take to your bed, as it were. I had a bad stomach bug recently (maybe had similar effects to what you are experiencing) and I didn’t have the need to increase pred.
So as pro says, it really depends on how bad you feel. Sorry I can’t be more helpful and hope you’re better soon x
