Who has had glandular fever?

i had glandular fever about 6 months ago and want to find other ppl who have had it so they can tell if if it still affects them.... coz i think it is making me really tired!

I had it when I was 16 really bad, I was unable to eat for 2 weeks and found it very hard to move / etc.

I still have bouts of fatuigue to this day (I am now 27) but things like regular excersise and good diet do help (I know you'll be sick of hearing it but it is true).

I'm afraid you will probably have to look after yourself in terms of diet, excersise and proper sleep patterns more than others have to for a while if not for ever, but this can be a positive thing as you will end up feeling better in youself.

Good luck, hope you feel really well very soon!

it can stay in your system for like a year n a half its still in ma system for 6 months now makes u tired an lose some of your hair get iron tablets from doctor

i had it a few years ago

it made me very tired and made back of my head and neck ache

ever since i sometimes get cramp in my glands when i yawn

I had glandular fever 12 years ago in my last year of high school. At the height of being sick, I slept for up to 22 hours a day (G.F lasted around 2-3 months). It will take time unfortunately to get back to normal energy levels as I found. I tried to prove to my parents and doctor I was well enough to return to school. I went for half a day and felt great, however the next day I couldn't lift my head off the pillow.

The lesson being here- take it easy, don't be in too much of a rush to get "back to normal" because it will ultimately result in the "tiredness" just hanging around. Rest, rest, rest even if you don't feel like it and keep your immune system as healthy as possible. You should be back to normal in no more than a few weeks.

I didn't have any other relapses after that first attempt to return to school. Despite a lot of people saying it can return even years later if you get really run down, this has never happened to me (and I have been run down a lot- I have 2 kids :) ) Hope this helps and hope you're feeling spritely soon.

i had it 3 years ago and im still aftected by it now. one of my glads ahs been swallen ever since and the doctor cannot do anything for it. im tired all the time and my appertite hasnt really fully recoverd. hope this helps.
