I've been diagnosed with mono/glandular fever (SUCKS!), but how come my gir!
Question: I've been diagnosed with mono/glandular fever (SUCKS!), but how come my girlfriend hasn't got it?
also:
1) how long does it take to go away?
2) is it normal to have really bad body pains? and feeling tired loads?
3) apparently if you get it once - the virus stays w/ you 4 life, is this true?!?
thanks *.*

The classical symptoms of mononucleosis are a sore throat, fever, fatigue, weight loss, malaise, pharyngeal inflammation, vomiting, petechiae and loss of appetite. Common signs include lymphadenopathy (enlarged lymph nodes), splenomegaly (enlarged spleen), hepatitis (refers to inflammation of hepatocytes—cells in the liver) and hemolysis (the bursting of red blood cells). Often, if symptoms are not apparent in the first two days of possible viral infection, then mononucleosis is not present. Older adults are less likely to have a sore throat or lymphadenopathy, but are instead more likely to present with hepatomegaly (enlargement of the liver) and jaundice. Rarer signs and symptoms include thrombocytopenia (lower levels of platelets), with or without pancytopenia (lower levels of all types of blood cells), splenic rupture, splenic hemorrhage, upper airway obstruction, pericarditis and pneumonitis.
saliva isnt the only way to get it. maybe there is a waiting period before it manifests itself. Plus, maybe she has a resistance to it..
She might have had it before and maybe didn't know it. Yah, its a type of herpes virus, like the chicken pox. Once u have it u cant catch it again.
