Did anyone else have chores while being sick?

I'm staying home from church tomorrow due to being sick. Every time I stand up or walk a few feet my head immediately hurts with sharp pain and I feel like I'm going to pass. I just have a feeling my mom is going to make me do chores tomorrow even if I end feeling the same way tomorrow.

I always got chores when I was at home sick unless they could see blood or a broken limb. My illness needed to be visible or they assumed I was being lazy.

@SW-User me too. I used to get big nosebleeds and that was the only thing that put me temporarily out of commission for chores. Not migraines or dizziness.

@purplepen You're lucky you didn't get migraines, my sister did and nobody believed her for years.

@SW-User to I do get migraine and dizziness. And seizures too.

@purplepen I'm sorry to hear that, it must be difficult living with those things, especially the seizures.
