How may people with MS on the forum, have had glandular fever? When I was 9 years of age I had it. Wiped me out for 8 months at that time. Just curious, in seeing how many of us had it. BE
Oh yes, big time! I had it aged 30 (way too old for it), my son was just 14 months old and it was a real struggle as I needed more sleep than he did. I had gone into work (part-time) for 2 weeks feeling rubbish and was driving with the windows open to keep awake. Signed off for 2 weeks of total rest and then took months to recover fully.

Nope, not me.
Nope. Only thing I ever had was chicken pots and thats it.

Yes I had Glandular Fever about 5 years prior to MS symptoms/diagnosis.
Yip! I had glandular fever sometime around 10 years of age (…can’t remember exactly how old I was …only know it was quite a long time ago).
I also had chicken-pox, measles & mumps as a young’un - was hoping for a prize for having a full set !!

I had it when I was 18. It wiped me out for months. I was allowed time out of A level exams because of fatigue. I only used that facility in one exam when I went to another room for a 15 min sleep. (Now invigilating must be pretty tedious but to watch some one sleeping …).
yep me too, at 9, 10 & 22 Yes 3 times and I can also add Scarlettina to Liamsquash list. Sue
No, never had glandular fever…
Hello there,I hope the end of Global Warming suits you and you’re not frying eggs on the patio anymore.I had GF when I was 16 and had six weeks off school just before my O levels,but it didn’t work as an excuse. Also had Mumps and Chickenpox when I was even more adorable.I mention these because back in the mists of time I remember that there was a post about these three Nasties which were thought to be common in people who later joined our club.
