    Mono/Glandular Fever/Kissing Disease, ever had it?

    Haven't myself but I'd imagine it should be very common

    I don't know, I might have got it thinking it was strep throat or something, I never would have associated it with snogging.

    Yep, but not from kissing (poor me). A year of feeling tired and a bit sh*t; and I didn't even get any action for it.

    Think I got it when I was 25, had chicken pox the same year, the two were not that far apart. Was not a fun year at all.

    I had Glandular Fever many years ago, most unpleasant, intense pain swallowing. By the time I got the results back from the doc, I was better.

    I know two people who lost half their hearing because of Scarlet Fever in one case and Mumps in the other.

    Had it when I was 23, it was really, really horrible. The intensely painful part lasted a few days, but was exhausted and run down for months before and after.
