ive been hitting the gym 6 times a week for 4 months

If you're sick, then yes, take some time off.

It's a deload pal. Yeah, sounds like you should take this opportunity and take a week at home, or at the most go and do some moderate lifting (60% of usual).
This will give your muscles, ligaments, tendons and CNS a well deserved rest. I find after a deload (and a take a full week off rather than going in and reducing weight) I find my lifting easier and have more motivation, and soon have increases in most of my lifts

Lift if you're comfortable enough to, otherwise your health should ALWAYS come first. You can get back in there after you've taken care of yourself.
