Thankfully, I can't remember the last time I was sick.  I make sure to get plenty of R&R and spend a lot of time in nature, so I do pretty well at avoiding burn out along the way

Unfortunately this business doesn't lend itself to taking time off for sick days. I'm taking more ME time these days when I know I'm going to have a slow day. I'll ride my bike to the beach or enjoy a movie. Relaxing helps keep me well. Stress kills!

When you work for yourself it's counterproductive to be sick so as long as these 2 legs can carry me you'll find me at work. When I worked for corporate, yes, I called in sick sometimes when I needed the day.

short answer... generally "yes" I take a break ...

Sometimes you have no choice.

Taking care of yourself is very important, I do not believe that it is right to take a bag of medication and painkillers instead of a good nap and a cup of a chicken soup( if it is your thing).

Rarely, if ever.  I worked through chemo and 6 surgeries.  I was at an appointment with a seller 3 days after breast surgery.  Unless I down and cannot get up ... I do what needs to be done. 
That said, I am equally committed to taking good care of myself so that I do not get sick, and I rarely do.

Well I missed this earlier today - depends on how under the weather I am. I was back at work hours after my apendectomy and my thyroidectomy. I'm not good at taking time when I probably should. But when ill with a cold or something else contagious, I steer clear of others. Thankfully it's rare!
