I had to, since I was so far gone (90% capacity or something like that, most folks at 33-36%). The doc wanted me to take 6 weeks off from work (wrote a Dr.'s note too) but I got bored after 4 and went back. However, only you know your financial and personal situations, like if you CAN take the time off. I had wonderful parents who welcomed me back into their home for my recovery.
Talk to your doctor, do some number crunching, and see if you need to -- Grave's is very tiring, stressful, and you need to center yourself again. Good luck -- you are on the road to recovery!

You should probably ask your doctor about the best course of action to take.
