NOT glandular fever - update
« on: 23 September 2011, 13:04 »
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)

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.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

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.

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:

    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
