As some of you know from the old "whatcha doing" thread I went to the Dr last week for severe fatigue and migraines. I was sent for bloo test and my GP rang me yesterday to tell me I have "active" EBV aka glandular fever and another viral infection Cytomegalovirus aka CMV. This is similar to EBV not glandular fever but in the same family. I tested negative for CMV antibodies showing I havent been expose to CMV before but I tested positive for EBV active as well as the EBV antibodies, But I have had glandular fever alot over the last 5 years. I am soooo wrapped that I have my holiday this week and the Dr faxed my medical cert to my team leader so she will receive it tomorrow. He has given me a cert for indefinite leave but Im not due back at work till May since I have my holiday coming up. I shouldnt rant and rave cos people go through so much more than me health wise but argh I cant afford to be sick. My kids need me to be well. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

glandular fever sucks ass. It was bad enough with no responsibilites and could take as much time as I liked off school. Is there anything they can give you?
