Glandular Fever

[smiddidR32]

hey guys on monday i went on holidays which i was so looking foward to after working a hard long year but on the monday i was feeling like shit so i went to doc's where he told me i have glandular fever ive been in bed for the last couple of days feeling like shit but over these days i have spoke to so many mates that have said they've had gandular fever or known someone that has had it,

saying this most of them have said they have had it for a couple of months just want to know if there are many people who can tell me if they have had it only for a week or two. coz this will suck ass if i have this my whole holidays and over chritmas and new years.. even tho i might be one of tho's people who get it for a long least i might have some hope!!

thanks people..

sorry about this gay topic just want to know

Man, your in for a bad couple of months! I had it end of 2002, didn't get out of bed for a couple of weeks, and my throat swelled up so bad i couldn't talk or eat for 3 days! The doc told me i had it bad, and it took me ages to get completey over it.... like half a year!

But having said that, a mate of mine had it and didn't even know, went to work as usual and went to the doc after a month of feeling like crap and she said he had had it for the past month and couldn't believe he didn't realise!! I guess it depends on the situation....

I had it last year... knocked out pretty bad... took me about 3 weeks to get back on my feet... like others have said just no energy, sleeping all day, sore throat (kinda feels like tonsillitis), etc. That said, my immune system is still not back where it used to be... and it's about 20 months since I had it... I just get sick really easily now, and a little cold knocks be about pretty hard.

Really annoying, coz I'm like, it's just a cold... but I'm dead for a week!

Good luck with it!

I have had it (shows up on medical tests) but wasnt aware I had had it.

I have known of others who were flat on their backs 3 months with it. so there is a lot of scope.

Best bet is to look after yourself by eating right, exercising lightly and removing stress (deal and close any issues such as relationships/finances/family/work which give you psychological stress)

The more you worry and push yourself the longer it will take to get over it.

PS - that will be $75, please pay on the way out LOL

My missus got struck down by this a couple of years back, knocked the shit out of her too! Bad bad illness, just make sure you get plenty of rest or the bastard will keep on giving you a hard time!

yea i have had it and i was stuffed and out for 2 months. same as most sleeping all the time and no energy. but i also got a touch of hepatitis (food poison), which didnt help much either.

The other bad thing is u shouldn't get on the booze for a fair while, i had 6 months where i didn't touch a drop and another 6 where i didnt touch much more. that was all 4 years ago and i still feel it now and again if i dont take care of myself....

Lol... you can't catch hepatitis from food.... hepatitis is an inflamed liver.... sure you didn't mean gastroenteritis ?

Sounds like the food poisoning would have knocked you around a fair bit... I had it (glandular) for a few weeks in 2001, I lost around 10 kilos in the first week... too bad u cant market it as a diet plan, otherwise I could make some good $...

If you have a Dr's note and enough sick days left you may be able to take sick leave rather than annual leave. Depends on your award and employer but it may be worth considering.
