Hi Guys,
I have mild glandular fever and it is really affecting my training to the point where i have no energy.
I take preworkout and sleep adequate hrs along with enough food.
I just feel very flat and fatigued in the gym.
I do powerlifting and have very strenuous workouts which makes it even more difficult.
Is there anything i can do or take to help get rid of this and get my energy levels back up again?
Thanks
Why not just rest up?

[B]It is important you take plenty of rest for the first two to three weeks after your glandular fever symptoms begin.[/B] However, complete bed rest is no longer recommended, as it can make the symptoms of fatigue last longer.
You should gradually increase your activities as your energy levels return, but it is important to avoid activities you cannot manage comfortably.

You can return to work, college or school as soon as you feel well enough. There is little risk of spreading the infection to others as long as you follow commonsense precautions, such as not kissing other people or sharing utensils.
For the first month after your symptoms begin, avoid contact sports or activities that put you at risk of falling.

When it comes to something like this see a doctor. Only safe way to go.
