Could this be glandular fever?

I feel like death. Sore throat, swollen glands in neck, aching limbs and absolutely completely shattered and washed out. I have slept all morning and even sitting here typing this makes me feel dizzy!

I will be so pissed off if this is gf...I've got an exam on Thursday and all I want to do is go back to bed. Argh.

That sounds just like the fluey virus my dd has just had. She was complaining of all the things you list, plus a headache and nausea. There's a lot of viruses around at the moment, so perhaps it's something like that.

Sorry you're feeling rotten, hope it gets better soon.

You poor thing, sound awful. My dp had gf and it was like that and lasted for 2 weeks.
Get to the drs!!
Could just be tonsilitis. If you do think its glandular fever, dont let them give you amoxicillin!
gf can only be confirmed by a blood test and sometimes doesn't show up till months after the symptoms
