glandular fever

just wondering if there is any connection to hypothyroidism.  Has anyone else experienced glandular fever that just appears from nowhere.. had not been anywhere where I could possibly contract it. I am

72  and don't go anywhere or have intimate relationships so how is it possible?  My Dr took blood tests and told me it was the case but she has made so many errors that I'm wondering if this could be another one. Thanks anyone who may have the time to reply.

Hi Haras

I caught glandular fever from presumably a poorly washed cup or something whilst out of own environment. As I too was not in a relationship, nor had been. It was many years ago but I remember being puzzled as to why I caught it. And I was quite poorly with it plus had after effects later from it.

I only found out from a post by Clutter (Administrator)... yay, we learn something every day!
