Christ mate, that's one hell of an over-reaction. When I have a cold, I usually just take a couple paracetamol...

They can test for Glandular Fever, did you have blood taken?

Many viruses can mimic glandular fever symptoms as I found out in March. The doctor tested me for it but it came back negative and he couldn'd find anything wrong. I got over it in about a month, whatever it was but I have never been the same since. I developed quite bad acid reflux so I have to take Omeprazole daily and I get quite severe stomach pains every few weeks as well as muscle and joint aches. I have had blood tests, X-Rays, Barium Swallows and an Ultrasound but they can't find anything wrong!!

All that from a stupid Virus!

It sounds like you need to go to House.

Maybe it's Sarcoidosis.

It's fucked up took my girlfriend out of action for a good 2 months.

Nah but the worst of it lasted around 2 months and in total it took like 8 months for her to be properly back to normal.
