I got it the summer after my freshman year of college. Seems like thee olde ex was doing some extracarricular activities behind my back. I too got the swollen glands, fever, and drainage of energy. I was only feeling bad for about a month. My case was pretty mild. The day I knew something was wrong was when I was working at the zoo. I was designated parking lot duty. It was probably 85 degrees outside and there was no shade. Around 3:00 in the afternoon, I sat on the curb and passed out. My supervisor came by on her golfcart and found me asleep. She said she called my name several times and had to shake me to wake me up. That night, my girlfriend came over, we watched a movie, got a little freaky, I started to finger her and I fell asleep with my middle finger up in her. She turned over, shook me, and I was like, "What?"...she's like, "Did you just fall asleep?" I Was like, "No, why?" She's like, "No, you definitely just passed out, are you okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "Are you sure?" "I think so, I fell asleep at work today, it was probably from being out in the sun." She felt my head, "You're burning up." "Really, I don't feel like I have a fever." "You definitely do." Two days later my services at were no longer needed. I went to the doctor the day after I was let go, had a fever of 101, and I typically have a lower than normal body temp anyway, I'm in the 97.7 range, so I was feeling like absolute shit. Anyway, lots of fluids and if you got it from your girlfriend, she should have no problem giving you some head. While I may have been tired, I could still rock wood. Good luck!
