GailC - glandular fever is known as mono in the US.

I had glandular fever when I was in university - apparently it is very easily transmitted, and it really is horrible, isn't it. You will need to watch Max for depression as it can lead to that.

A
for Max and you!

Thank goodness it is something he can recover from. I hope that he has a safe and comfortable healing process.

Oh, my! Mono can be very debilitating (from what I've heard) but not life-threatening at least. I know you were terribly frightened, my sister (whom I adore) was diagnosed with colon cancer a year and a half ago and went through some aggressive therapy and surgery last summer. At the moment all is good, but every visit to the Dr. is still a cause for extreme anxiety! So I know how your heart must have jumped.

Vibes going your way

Oh everyone has been so sweet!! Thank you so much for your well wishes.

The poor honey's immune system is all shot to pieces - he has peuritis now, which is when the body breaks out in pimple-type lumps. His face is also swollen where his glands are raised!

Plus, Kellye, you're right about the depression - he has bipolar disorder so we're keeping a very close eye on that aspect, too.

Thank you again you are all so sweet!

Thanks....I didn't know what it was either.

I had Mono when I was 12 and it was horrible. I was dizzy for weeks. I couldn't even walk without holding on to a wall. Getting out of school was kinda fun but the rest stunk! I'm praying he recovers fast!
