You will get people telling you that the glands in your neck swell which is rubbish..
What it does do is attack all the glands in your body from top to bottom, so she will gets aches and pains everywhere..
She will get flu type syptoms ( shivers and shakes ) headaches,sickness, loss of appitite, the full works..
With me it gradually got worse after 3 weeks and in the mornings i could hardly walk because of the aches in my legs..
I could not face any proper food, all i ate was sweet stuff like puddings and cakes.. ( i lived on cheesecake for about 4 weeks )
She will probabily be off work for a minimum of 4 or 5 weeks probabily longer..
If all that wasnt enough, the recovery is the most important part because if you rush yourself back to work it can develop into Chronic Fatique Syndrome ..
( words from my GP )
Even now 7 years on i still suffer from the effects of it..
She will feel really poorly ay times mate so look after her, try and get her to drink fruit juice and eat. If she wont eat they is not much you can do as you just cant face food so try sweet stuff.
All the best..

It wouldn't be a complete Nashark post without some wit in there, now would it? ;)nashark said:bellamys dodgy knee said:I had this about 7 years ago and its a horrible illness..

I developed Chronic Fatigue from Glandular Fever. I was out of it for 3/4 months, and also had a scare with pneumonia at the same time. Not very pleasant but you have to be philosophical about it, as I was at the time. Shit happens and all that. At least it's not cancer.
But if your bird wants some advice, tell her to come round mine and we'll chat. Tell her to wear her uniform.

I did think this, but she's been at three gigs recently, and has most likely shared a bottle of water with someone, so it could be anything.117 M34 said:Isn't it known as 'Kissing disease?'
How far away does she live from you? If she lives more than 10 miles away from you then she has almost certainly caught it off some other guy. Very common amongst Scottish males aged 16-25 apparently. Maybe it was a Scottish lad.
