[88GreenVN]

Gets some Q-10's into ya. Get that energy level up (google Q10 to have a read on the subject)

I make it worth an extra 2 hours a day of time not sleeping.....wasting life pushing out zzzz'ds (and yes its legal "non speed" type thing) AND you dont have to wait around street corners to get them

[hsvpunk]

good ol tonsillitises... i had that abt a year ago.... it wasnt fun... just some gay pills they give ya, and away ya go... soon enough you'll get heaps of sleep. And if the doc gives u pills to help u sleep,... dont take more than 3 LOL... that wasa good sleep that night/day.

Sorry to hear your woes mate!
I had the exact same thing as you described about 12 months ago.
Thaey said i had tonsilitis and possible glandular fever too.
After more testing it turned out to be very serious case of HAY FEVER ALLERGY that had goneo on for months unnoticed. ( i had never had it before in my life)
Some anti biotics and some q10's did the trick!
All was good after about 1 month!
Good luck, hope it is as simple as that and that you have a speedy recovery!
Glandular fever in adults can be very serious.
Like someone else said.... get some Q10 into ya!

[PaRaDoX]

yeah lucky im not all that old aye, 20 years of age.. 21 soon enough!

well stocky you were working the same corner that i was soo maybe you should have your self checked too?

ill look into Q10s, i dont think ive had much of a immune system for the last month... i hope i dont have glandular but now why am i about to colapse at 5pm onto my desk at home when i slept from 8:30pm to 7:30am, i tried getting up at 6am for work ... just didnt happen, been crashing at 8pm each night, just cant stay up

[VNexecutive]

iron deficiency? doesnt that cause tiredness? spose you'll find out with the blood test ey

[sircruisealotVS]

i reckon you would know about it if you had tonsillitis, it feels like razor blades cutting the insides of your throat every time you swallow.
glandular fever sounds more like it though - from what you've said. i got it when i was a kid and i remember being out of action for weeks just sleeping and crawling around (yes, i didnt even have the energy to stand and walk on my own). so its not exactly fun stuff.

[NORTI]

Get the blood tests, it amazing what they can find. I just found out my thyroid isint working, it kind explains a few things, inc how tired I am also.

Ive had glandular fever also, knocks you around a bit. Lucky had my tonsils out when I was 8yrs old because I was suffering so much.

Get the drugs into you, but more so get the rest. Your body is telling you it needs to rest to recover.

[NORTI]

ggggrrr double post

[VZHSV]

gettin my tonsils out in about a month or so..
tonsilitis comes 5 times a year for me

[PaRaDoX]

yeah from what ive read on the net glandular fever causes swelling of the tonsils? woke up thismorning with painful kidneys which is NOT a good sign..

i doubt its a iron deficiency, my diet hasnt changed in ages, i eat red meat atleast 3 times per week,

the whole reason i went to the doctors in the first place was ive been energyless in the last month and its getting worse, i went on a red meat diet for like 4 days and i felt a little better but im still getting worse...

oh well i guess ill know tommorrow.....good thing work will let me work from home if i need to, ive got the tools to work from anywhere, peak hour traffic etc.. god bless technology and the fact that the armish arnt in power!

[Emackulation]

Its all those kebabs with extra gaylic sauce your eating! Get well.

[Reaper]

'but im not gay'

Doc 'sure your not gay '

Hmmm.... it's real bad luck when you give yourself the clap like that.

Dunno about tonsilitus - had them out when i was a kid. As for the rest - welcome to my life. You just get used to it after a while.

i had glandular fever back in yr10, sounds like you do have it unfortunatly. Bad thing is that once you've had it your immune system is never the same and can take years to fully recover. It ws about 4-5yrs ago for me now and my immune system still isnt up to scratch... i spent 3 weeks in bed and almost two months before i was feeling ok...took so much time off school...

I know people are going to say, "that’s impossible, bull****" to the what im about to say but seriously, I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy...

I got tonsillitis and glandular at the same time, I remember the exact day I got it, I felt really off, real sudden loss on energy and went to the boss at work, I don’t feel good with the reply of, "oh diagnosing yourself now", anyway I went home and booked to go to the doctors because I just had that gut feeling that something was really wrong with me. Got an appointment that afternoon.

He showed concern of the size of my glands (lymph nodes) and scheduled a blood test for me the following day.

The next day I went in for a blood test and felt worse. He asked me if I’ve been with any intimately in the last 1-2 weeks and I had.

By the third day I was feeling like complete ****, really tired and just felt like doing nothing and started to get a saw throat, I hadn’t eating since the morning I left work (3 days). I remember my heart just pounded away if I didn’t anything, if I walked like 20m to the car I’d have to sit down and rest, felt like I had gone for a 4k run! A couple of days went past and with each day my health deteriorated greatly.

About a week later I received the blood test results back and it was confirmed that I had glandular, but by then it was really useless news. I hadn’t eaten for about a week and a half and was starting to loss bodyweight and muscle mass. From this period not much happened until about 5 weeks after when I first felt a bit off from work. In those 5 weeks I did not eat ANYTHING! I lived on tea and red myzone that was it, everything else hurt too much to swallow. For some reason red myzone and tea where the only things that my body would except. Because I hadn’t eaten anything for so long I lost 26% of my muscle and 30kg of weight. I seriously think that if I didn’t have some body fat I’d be in serious ****...

Every night from about week 2 to about week 6 I would throw up every night without fail. During the night mucus from my mouth would slide down into my stomach and because I had nothing in there and it was mucus my stomach would reject it resulting in me throwing up just stomach acid. To the result in about week 6 I had vomited that much that the inside of my throat had stripped itself of skin and blood was dripping down into my stomach, so then I’d only throw up blood, that’s when I started to get really scared.

This is when it gets worse... in week 7 I didn’t sleep for the whole week, 7 days with no sleep, still vomiting blood, I don’t remember much because I was so delusional from not sleeping, but my parents have told me some pretty weird **** that I was doing. I remember one night that my eyesight turned green, everything was green! Then I past out for about 3 solid days.

I woke up in hospital...

I spoke to the head doctor and he said this is the worst case he's ever seen of glandular fever in his whole 30 something years as a doctor. BREAKING RECORDS OHHHHH YEAHHHH!!! lol

He said that its only going to get worse and I remember as if it was yesterday, I just said in my mind "**** this" im really really over this, and I think it helped a little, just mentally thinking about getting better.

But little did I know the last 2 weeks will be the worse... im starting to eat but only little things like a grape here and there or a biscuit

The rash ohh **** the rash you think chicken pox is bad, it’s got nothing on the glandular rash!!! The first week the top half of my body was covered in a rash that is so itchy all your muscles continuously flex. Nothing helps it, I had baths in some cream ****, didn’t help, I had to basically be knocked out every night to get some sleep. Then the next week it was my lower body!!! It was weird; it was like someone had drawn a line right across my waist.

The rash went away after the 2 weeks, then one morning I was hungry as ****! I ate so much; all I did all day was eat, then for the next week I started to get some energy back. I was off work for a total of 2 and a half months, and was on light duties for 2 months after that.

All in all the worst period of my life so far...


Sorry about the spelling and grammar mistakes, its alot of typing

[The1985divo]

Glandular fever is not fun at all, 2 months of laying in bed sleeping most of the time, lost a heap of weaght though..not tha tit was needed

Hope ya get well soon dude

Oh and in really really extreme situations, your appendix bursts, I was told that if I get any sharp pain in my back to ring 000 immediately and say my appendix has burst. Apparently it can kill you if like an hour if you don’t do anything about it.

And glandular is the swelling of the lymph nodes (glands) that sit under/next to your jaw bone.

[PaRaDoX]

ouch banks, i had a bimax(doubble jaw opperation) late last year and lost 20kg, lost heaps of muscle, didnt eat for ages (thru a suringe when i did)

it was crap

i dont feel that bad yet, and im not sure i will.. i dont even know if its glandular yet, given its 7:30 and i feel like passing out thats not a good sign

have you gone for a blood test?

For each person its different, I researched glandular intensively when I had it, I wanted to know what was happening to me. Anyway, sometimes people just get really tired, some get tired and don’t eat, sometimes its last 3 weeks, most times longer. And in extreme cases like me, don’t eat at all, the appendix bursts and sometimes death in older people. Because it’s so contagious there’s no way of stopping it. No cure.

Its spread by saliva. Could be from sharing a drink, from walking past someone that’s sneezed and in my case, kissing. So it’s easy to get.

I suppose the good thing that comes out of it is that when its all over, 3-5 years later when the actual glandula genes are gone from you body, (yes it takes a minimum of 3 years before your 100% again, you wont feel it but your body is still getting attacked and fighting the glandula genes) your immune systems defence doubles. So it gets stronger. Similar to superman, but without the gay costume…

Another weird thing is that EXACTLY a year after you first start to feel it, for about 2 weeks you'll feel really really really tired again, its really weird and didn’t believe it when I was first told.

I had mine when I was 17 so its been just over the 3 years, its weird because I had it around this time and I’m a little bit sick and feel really tired, tried to go to the gym before but just didn’t have the energy. So I don’t know if this has anything to do with it.

Man I really truly hope you don’t get it the same as me, if messed me up so much physically and psychologically for ages. Keep me posted man and ill defiantly help you as much as I can, but I’m afraid you just have to ride it out

[Julie]

Don't get all paranoid by these glandular fever stories, if you have it yeah it sucks and you will find out with your test results, but no use in worrying about something you may not have. You feel like **** now no point making yourself feel ****tier.

Tonsilitus will knock you around a bit and make you feel tired, have swollen glands, splitting headaches, extremely sore throat. If you want to see how bad your tonsilitus is grab a torch and shine it down at your tonsils while looking in the mirror, don't be too grossed out if they are covered in white pus spots. Take your antibiotics and get some difflam (antiseptic/anti-iflammatory) spray or gargle to help with the sore throat.
