Does your ME feel like your initial infection?

I had gradual onset, I had repeat episodes of laryngitis, swollen glands and flu type symptoms over a period of 3/4 years when my health deteriorated noticeably but not acutely.

I continue to have sore throat associated with PEM, swollen glands only occur now when I am at my worst. Since getting ill health retirement I hit worst far less frequently than when I was still pushing myself to stay in part time work.
