Chronic Glandular Fever

LegacyUser

Hi,

I think I may have chronic glandular fever. I'm trying to find someone who has suffered it to know how they coped with it... Mine flares up if I over exert myself, even slightly, or get stressed without meaning to.

I've been to my doctor a few times but to no avail. She doesn't answer questions and just gives me antibiotics. Changing doctors to try get answers. It's getting me down as I'm very active but this has me feeling tired. Worst are the sore throats that stop me eating. I've been referred to consultants but won't get to meet with them until after xmas....

So has anyone had similar probs?

I never had it myself, but a good friend that I lived with did. I remember him saying that it was hell, he never had energy, even had to take a month of work to try to help the antibiotics. He's feeling alot better now, and does put it down for the month off. So my advice is wait it out, and take it easy.

OP - your GP is best placed to diagnose you and give you advice.

You say you are changing doctors, and seeing consultants soon ... hope that works out for you. Best of luck
