I got scarlet fever a couple of years ago immediately after a dose of real flu and ended up off work for about 3 weeks. Not a lot of people believed I caught something that basically nobody has had since about 1687. I had 3 GPs come in to have a look.

Penicillin is amazing though. I went from covered in heavy red rash and rapidly decomposing to my death, to looking perfectly fine in the space of about 48 hours!

I had it when I was younger, a mild version, I was off school for nearly a month and when I came back I had coughing fits for nearly a minute, I thought I was going to die from suffocation.

Same deal for me, multiple GPs came to look at me and I had more blood tests than I can remember.
