Yeah that's why I was taking the Spatone no constipation. They wanted me on something like 325mg iron supps a day, there was no way I was going to escape constipation on that dose! The Spatone worked well and didn't have any trouble at the tail end. I hope you're feeling better soon you need lots of rest too. Sorry your boss is a bit ignorant but if you have a doctors certificate there's not much she can do. Still makes you worry though. I had 4 and a half months off at the beginning of this pg due to HG and it caused big dramas at work I thought and almost didn't have a job to go back to, I was really stressed. In the end I think they realised it wasn't going to be good for them to do the wrong thing by me and I had work when I was better.If you only have a few shifts left and leave o cover it then look after your health and take the break
