I have glandular fever, feel crap, people say it comes from kissing, is that an old wives tale?

i havent kissed anyone with glandular fever that im aware of...

i have been to the doctor, and had blood test... came up positive for glandular fever... she was pretty unhelpful., and said i needed to rest. but i have so much work to do its impossible to rest!!

are you sure you did not kiss "ANYTHING" with glandular fever..think back and then you'll remember those few wet moments wtih your neighbours "puss-y"

still i'd go to doc to make sure its not mono

Other possible explanations for your symptoms include, bacterial infections, allergies, severe colds, mild allergic reactions to medications, and in some worst possible scenerios, when contracting a sexually transmitted disease these are symptoms that may occur within the first 3-7 days of infection. However, it's probally something minor and antibiotics will clear it right up. Check with your doctor sooner than later so it will not get worse, because believe me, it will.

Glandular fever is also known as Mononucleosis and for some reason carries the nick name " the kissing disease".. No, it can be passed in other ways, bur generally through saliva. You do need to do as the Dr. says and get plenty of rest. Probably more than you want. Drink alot of fluids, avoiding alcohol.
Good luck to you
Been there Done That

I have glandular fever too.
It is carried in saliva and it MAY have come from kissing but it could also have come from sharing the same glass, coughing, sneezing. It is very contagious.
Plus the other person might not even know they have glandular fever because sometimes it can go unnoticed.
The doctors are unhelpful because glandular fever is different for every one. Some people may hardly notice the symptoms where as some may be ill for up to a year with them.
And you probably won't want to hear this but it is going to last a long time.
I have had glandular fever for 10 weeks.
