Five years ago whilst at law school I suffered very badly with glandular fever - everything was affected; liver, spleen, eyesight. Was bedridden for a year and then after that went through up and down periods. Ibis he'd law school with difficulty (but distinction 
).
Worked from home for a couple of years doing admin (on one occasion, for a friend I was at law school with who was a lawyer now 
) and gradually got a lot better.
In 2011 was well enough to start work as a lawyer. Had absolutely no time off for 18 months. Had a whale of a time and was doing really well. Trusted my body again, felt really healthy, had some therapy to tidy up some of the anxiety I felt about it coming back.
I got the flu in April. I had had colds since being sick but I think this was my first flu. Laid up for a week, then went back to work, was okay. Starting getting a bit tired/persistent sore throat. Went to Paris on holiday as planned and basically caught something else (or the flu came back). Been laid up ever since (6 weeks 
).
Worse, I don't actually think I'm getting better - would be coping better if could see gradual improvement but I actually think I have got worse.
Anyway. I'm just devastated to be ill again after not a single day off in 18 months. I'm 28 now, and feel like I have wasted my 20s on this nonsense. I want to be back being a lawyer
Also, I am very bored. When I was ill with glandular fever I wrote a blog detailing it and it got into company magazine! I still write that blog but I have a good 10 hours on my own every day and I am really not well enough to move .
Hand holding and suggestions for occupying my mind welcome.
