(in my case because of the nausea, tiredness i just quit my job and thought lets be at home and take rest. But later i got to know by sitting we get more problems then started household works like cleaning, cooking, home maintenance e.t.c).
So my sincere advice is if your working don’t stop it just continue. Go to your office enjoy your work
and workplace, meet your colleagues but do not take much stress. If you feel your work is stressful then u can always stick to on household works as i did.
