Meningitis and Glandular Fever

[SLC2023]

Has anyone had any experience with having both of these at the same time?

I had viral meningitis in Oct 23 and have had horrible symptoms since; mostly headaches, body aches and extreme fatigue. I went back to work Feb 2024 and have been really struggling with long term effects of it, plus getting every cold and sickness bug from the kids (I’m a teacher). However now I have glandular fever which I feel has completely wiped me out. But again because both are viruses there is nothing we can do than wait for my body to fight it, which at the moment is very hard to remain positive about when it just seems like I’m getting sicker and sicker. Anyone got any great tips for improving immune system and fighting viruses?

Thanks so much
