Anyone have any idea what the minimum rest period is for someone recovering from Glandular fever??
Iim literally bouncing off walls to get to the gym but been told to rest cos my liver is inflamed & i could rupture my spleen, has anyone else had the illness and have any advice??

I've had this not a nice illness.

I left it a good while before I exercised on the same advice, once the fever actual feverish period passed (about 2 weeks) I left it about 3 weeks before I started hitting the gym:

My advice would be drink as much fluid as possible, I drank 5 litres of water every day and supplemented with Vitamin B12 amogst others, it was a sh1t period but I think these helped me through.

Don't be to keen to get back, rupturing your spleen is not like pulling a hamstring, once that bad boy tears you are in serious strife and in danger of bleeding to death so I would always air on the side of caution.

Cheers fellas, much appreciated!
I'm over the worst of it now, dropped a **** load of weight though (2st), least the bf% is down to 10 though lol.

I'm just concerned 'cos doc says i hav an inflamed liver etc & i don't want to do any long term damage by loading creatine and other less legal things.
