Shamelessly bumping my own thread back up top in the hope someone else might have some ideas/help.... Seven weeks in and feeling quite low now

Managing a bit of yoga but can't walk very far and still off work. Doooooooom.

Thanks - you're right, as soon as I have a day where I feel I can do a bit more (although the extent of this is something like being able to cook dinner!) then I'm completely wiped out again the next day.

I'm trying to just be accepting of the tact that it takes a while, but it's hard when all you can think about is getting better and getting back to normal!

Thanks both - and don't worry, quite a few people have warned me it's a log haul.

Did you find you had to start making yourself be more active to help pull yourself out of it? Or is it a case of rest, rest, rest until your body tells you it is able to do things?

I've been diagnosed with glandular fever (blood test has confirmed it) and am five weeks in and still feeling dreadful. Doctor has said at least another two weeks off work minimum and months until I feel properly 'well' again and am able to run.

I'm usually very active, running long distances, plus I do a lot of yoga. At the moment I can't do anything apart from sleep and sit around the house and I'm struggling to see an end to it.

Anyone else facing the same problem? Or has anyone any tips on how to get over it quicker?

Oh annoying... A full page review in this month's RW, but it's already sold out. What's the point of that?!

If anyone has a place they want to pass on, please PM me!
