Another thing I forgot to mention earlier. Calling in sick for the future sure can look suspicious if you have the wrong scheduler or chief pilot looking into your situation. If you're good enough to fly now, one would have to assume that you don't know if you'll be good enough to fly later or not. You might get better over time. A chief pilot who has it out for you might interpret this good deed as a "I'm fine to operate back to base but I have a golf tee-time this afternoon and I'm going to be sick for the rest of my day."
Can you prove his assumption wrong? If he's already thinking along these lines.... likely, no.

No kidding. I hate people who fly sick. I have caught way too many peoples' "allergies" over the years.
I'm sorry you burned all your sick calls for vacation and now you can't call in sick when you actually are sick. Your horrible planning should not become my problem. Stay home.
