Well, that's a pain.

Thanks for the comments guys, the hospital called me back this afternoon, turns out I have extreme Adenovirus with all the Pharyngoconjunctival fever symptoms.

I must say, its very nasty and I've never been so ill in all my life. I even had to go to a specific pharmacist for the medicine as apparently this is quite rare.

I've also had to quarantine myself in a part of the house so to not infect the wife and son.

Well, at least I'll get some peace and quiet for a while....

Hope it doesn't take the 5-9 days to clear up

There's another bright side apart from the peace and quiet though - you also kept it

with the illness too!

Just checking in @vtecmec - you all fully mended now from this?

Hey Iain, thanks for the thought

. Not quite where I should be yet, it took 3 weeks for the severe symptoms to subside

, with still some residual issues and further tests ongoing.

Didn't help that I moved house last week, which whilst I managed, probably put me back a bit.

and set you back a bit more

Yeah I bet, tiring and stressful process that is, which you could do without on top of feeling manky!
