I had glandular fever at the end of 1976, when I was only 24 years old. I collapsed and wound up in hospital for a few hours. I was referred to my own doctor. He visited me at home and the first thing he asked me was whether or not I had suffered any shocks recently. As it happened, I had gone through a long series of dramatic shocks in my personal life. He said glandular fever was always caused by shock and he made no mention of viruses at all.

I was ill and bed-ridden for months. Many of my friends visited, looked after me and my child, kept me sane while the fever felt like an endless hallucinogenic episode. It was the weirdest health threat I have ever experienced. Not one single friend contracted glandular fever, even though they were spending a lot of time in my company, some of them were helping me with hygiene too!
