Update,

Been home for 3 days, doctor diagnosed me with pharengitis due to a red throat, ignoring all the other symptoms I gave.
I have been given antibiotics and my throat has recovered,

I still however have extremely sensitive skin around my chest, back and ribs. (Sore to the touch), headaches and pain in my spine.

I hurt my back a while ago weight lifting so im battling to distinguish it from other body aches.

Seems like I will need to head back to doctor.

Glandular fever is no fun. I was bedridden for more than a month.

I actually work with some idiots who thinks that they gain extra "brownie" points for coming to work when they are sick.

Be careful of your employer who will just abuse that situation to make you feel guilty for taking time off for yourself to get better. I already had to pay back lots of money to my employer already because the management would just refuse to accept my sick notes and then force me to fill in an unpaid leave form. :mad:

I have a great doc, hes just never available, had glandular fever before, it feels similar but I am not as "cottonwoolly", right now the skin pain and back pain is freaking me out a little.

Will see how I am Monday

Went to hospital, waiting for results on blood test.

Dr had no idea, my sick notes diagnosis reads "medical condition"

Pretty retarded Doctors.... They should have just checked the inside of your mouth and would have seen it way before the rash started. Lately I have noticed Dr's just sit on their chair, give diagnoses bases on the way you walk into their room and give you a Dr's note for work. Find a young Dr with a new practice and you will get real Dr service. These old ones think they have seen it all and diagnose according to what they see.

I never go to the Dr. If I do it's because I know something is very wrong and demand all tests are done, blood work and the lot. Normally on walking in, Dr would say: "Feeling flu-ish?" I mean WTF?!?!?!

Very true, the one DR here I trust is quite young and I can never get an appointment with him, very good, asks lots of questions and listens. Got an appointment with him at 12:15
