When you work through being sick because rest feels indulgent

I logged on this morning with a fever, cold sweat and all, because taking a sick day feels like some kind of cheating. My body is clearly telling me to lie down, and I'm answering emails instead. Even really sick, resting feels like something I have to earn.
