Anyone on here had it? Just wanted to know symptoms. I'm sure I had it when I was 14 and what I've got now feels exactly the same. Hot/cold flushes, no appetite, shivering so much my skin hurts and absolutely no energy. I've only just got up so I managed 14 hours sleep last night (not uninterrupted granted but that's a lot for me)
I could go up the hospital but by the time I have the results back I'll have recovered (happened to my sister)
-
yep.. had it when I was 18... was only awake for 6 hours one week
best thing is to go to your docs and get advice from them
-
I had it when I was 19. (very long time ago now!) :grin:
Glands in neck swell up and you can hardly swallow, plus high fever, maybe a rash.
Can be worse if you are older.
-
get yourself checked out anyway, hopefully they can at least give you something to help.
-
Blood test is only way to confirm it!
-
Had it when I was 16 and was never the same again tbh.
Blood test will tell you but sounds like you could have flu too. Glandular fever can take months or years to recover from, flu can be weeks.
-
I got it at 30!! and it lasted months and knocked me out and gave me some kidney issues that took a few years to sort!
(luckily I had a wife who was so unsympathetic! I got it a week after a works do!! and she found out it's known as the kissing disease! aparantly :kiss: :kiss: = :sick: :sick:)
-
Well I'm 32 lol
I've had my missus moaning at me as I didn't go to work today. I don't get paid sick so not going in is the last resort as I could really do with the cash at the mo. Apparently she had "the same thing" last week and got on with it :rolleyes:

Without sounding harsh, i'm glad i'm not you! :grin: :grin: :grin: :kiss:

From NHS Direct.
The incubation period (the time it takes symptoms to develop after being infected with the Epstein-Barr virus) lasts for one to two months.
Common symptoms
The three most common symptoms of glandular fever are:
a high temperature (fever) of 38ºC (100.4ºF) or above
a sore throat – this will usually be much more painful than any previous throat infection you may have had
swollen glands (nodes) in your neck and possibly in other parts of your body, such as under your armpits
In addition to throat pain, you may also have:
- swollen tonsils
- the inside of your throat may be very red and ooze fluid
- swelling of your adenoids, which are two lumps of tissue at the back of your nose
- small purple spots on the roof of your mouth
[/list]
Other symptoms
Other symptoms of glandular fever include:
fatigue (extreme tiredness)
a general sense of feeling unwell
a headache
chills
sweats
loss of appetite
pain behind your eyes
swelling of your spleen – this may cause a noticeable and tender swelling or lump in the left side of your abdomen (tummy)
swelling or ‘puffiness’ around your eyes
swelling of your liver – this usually causes mild pain and tenderness in the lower right side of your abdomen
jaundice – yellowing of the whites of your eyes and skin

Thanks mate, I ticked quite a few boxes on that so I'll get myself to my docs ASAP.
To be fair to her she didn't get much sleep last night with a combination of me hallucinating and our youngest having a moment at 3.30am. She seems ok now lol

I think I may have found my problem...
Just taken the dressing off my arm that I had surgery on and around the wound it is red hot :shocked:
So I'll be going up the hospital later to get the stitches taken out and get some antibiotics :cry:
-
Beats the sh*t out of glandular fever anyway!
-
Glad it's not Glandular fever, that sh!ts bad my cousin couldn't have kids for years and the doctors attributed it down to her having had GV in her early 20's.
-
The doctors have put my ME down to having glandular fever an it just never left my system!
Its proper sh!t, been a walking zombie for 6 months now :sad:
I can do maybe 2 days work... then i need 3 to recover!
-
Glandular Fever is bloody awful. Had it when I was 15 and got it 2 months before my GCSE exams. Missed all of the studying sessions, everything. Had to drag myself in to school to sit the exams, most of which I could barely stay awake for, a couple I ended up leaving early.
Shame no one informed me I could have had this taken into consideration on my grades! It's a really horrible thing to have, that sticks with you for a long time after you're well enough to return to society!
-
Like many have mentioned in similar ways, I also had a severe bout of it about 15 years ago which last approximately 7 weeks, 4 of which I spent most of in and out of hospital due to some subsidiary mouth an throat infection which meant I was constantly spitting out pus and blood.
I barely ate throughout its entirety and lost over 3 stone simply down to my only food intake been ambrosia Devon custard. To say it knocked the sh!t out of me is an understatement!

Just got your pm wazzer and hunted for the thread,

My glands used to swell up alot, but never got glandular fever.

I remember at volksfest, you looked as if you had the worse hangover out of all of us, and you didn't drink.
Think that was just spending most of the day with you!! :grin:

Yes mate I have a bacterial infection which is now affecting my heart rate and blood pressure :shocked:
While I was being checked over my heart rate jumped up to 147bpm and my blood pressure to 190/80. Temp was at 38.9. At this point my head felt like it was going to explode. A quick ECG revealed nothing sinister, just everything incredibly high which was good. Now on some antibiotics and throat syrup but I'm just checking to make sure I can have ibuprofen with the antibiotics or I think I'm going to kill someone with this feeling in my head
-
Sounds horrible, hope you get well soon :afro:
-
Cheers guys. The only thing I can attribute it to is being in the Sauna too long but I can't get out and just jump in the jacuzzi :grin:
