Hello! My name is Kerstin, and I am currently recovering from Glandular Fever, also known as the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and Mono.

 For those that have experienced or witnessed it, you understand what a difficult time it can be. In my attempt to understand, accept and recover from Glandular Fever, I have searched hundreds of sites and read much on the subject.

 Do you know what I found? The majority of information out there is about describing the symptoms and prescribing ‘rest’ as the only treatment. Not satisfactory, if you ask me!

Having gone through this experience, the most helpful thing was speaking with others who have had Glandular Fever, Chronic Fatigue and/or Fibromyalgia. Only they can truly understand the physical, mental and emotional impact these illnesses have and help you through it.

But what if you don’t know others who have had it? Or what if you are just too damn tired to get out there and ask? Then this is for you!

This site’s mission is to bring the experiences of fellow Glandular Fever sufferers together, in a way that anyone can access, anywhere, anytime – especially those that need it most: those too bedridden and tired to be able to go out and speak to others.

So please, help the many people current suffering from Glandular Fever and CFS by sharing your story!

Anyone can share!

Glandular Fever, Chronic Fatigue or Fibromyalgia – we can all help each other!

Or perhaps you are a family member or friend of a sufferer – fantastic! We’d love to hear your experience on the other side of these illnesses.
