Answers:
1. EXTREMELY contagious.
2. Don't let anyone eat after you. Don't get intimate with anyone.
3. I agree with 2 weeks.
4. NOTHING let your body heal naturally. Your body has it swollen for a REASON. I suggest LOTS of raw veggies.
5. Your heart rate is going fast because it is DOING ITS JOB. Let it do its work and do NOT take meds to stop that. It is in overdrive to get the infection/ bugs out of you! Help your body along by eating healthful meats, a raw, organic fruit, and a raw, organic veggie at each meal. also , sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep...
Good luck!!

Everyone has given you pretty good advise, but I would like to add this: you should not play any contact sports for several months or do any heavy work. You can damage your liver or spleen if you are hit hard or take a bad fall. Get PLENTY of rest. I went back to work after my fever went down when I had it, and it took me a year before I felt 100% again. When you start back take it easy, and I would see if the doctor can get you out of P E for a while.Health Question & Answer
Here is a pretty good site to read. And you need to read all of it. Good Luck and take it easy and slow.
