Does glandular fever stay around for ages?

I had glandular fever when I was 19 and it lasted about twelve months. I'm 26 now. I have been feeling pretty rough again recently and I wondered if it could be glandular fever again. How do I keep up my energy? I am a school teacher and try to be healthy, do exercise etc, but I run out of energy too fast. I slept 13 hours last night and still feel rubbish. Help!

Glandular fever affects different people differently. Recovery time can be anything from 2 weeks to 12months. Once you have had the virus, you have lifelong immunity to it. I had it when I was 16 and ended up on a rehydration drip for 3.5 weeks and it took almost 2 months to fully recover and get back to school.
I'd advise you to go to your doctor for their advice, as they can do the blood test and take throat swabs also to test for the virus, just in case it has returned and is in your system.

It can drag you down but after such a length of time, I would have thought it would have left your system.
Time to go to the doctor and have some blood tests perhaps? And be honest with yourself about your lifestyle- stress, poor diet etc can all affect your energy levels. You may just need to rest and recharge a bit.

I too had glandular fever as a teenager and was off school for 2/3 months in my final year.
it stayed around for ages, as in whenever i was remotely run down my glands would be up and I would feel rough.
suggest totally listening to your body and resting up. Loads of sleep, vegetables, good food etc, water etc. Try echinacea too. I never got ill properly with it again, but it was usually a warning sign that i was doing too much and needed to slow down. Funny, am now 29 and it's totally gone now? i suppose it did take 14 years....
Feel better soon

I would say yes it does stay around for ages as a rough estimate I would say up to 10 years certainly that was my own experience. My daughter more recently had g f at 14 which went on for a good 2 years she is now 20 and is very prone to throat infections colds etc. which do seem to affect her more severely than others although she is steadily improving. My only advice can be eat properly take supplements if you think they help and sleep when you need to. If it is any consolation I had it when I was 17 and I can honestly say that I had more energy in my thirties than I did in my twenties and I have had no recurrence since my twenties. Do treat it with respect though fighting it is not always the answer.

I never heard that it can last so long!
Make sure you talk to your doctor. Thyroid disfunction is so common and treatable. Same with diabetes. Doc may blood test for minerals too. Make a list of any possible symptoms because they may add up to something you doctor can recognize quickly. (eg hair loss, dry skin, hard stool ...whatever.
