MONO IS SUCK!

[Ladies Man]

AHHH!

what the hell
i have no idea how i have it
my throat hurts so bad
people are telling me i could be like this for a month

 

[zippy]

Ouch, that sucks dude.

My sister still has it. She was in the hospital for 6 days in mid-december with it and is still often tired and sluggish. She is back at school, but she only has 2 classes and 1 independant study course because she is a senior. It's a damn good thing she has such great friends to take care of her when she is in one of the "valleys."

My best friend had it, but he was only feeling like crap for 5-6 days- he had a really mild case.

Anyway, feel better man!

Some people get it really bad - I was actually sick (fever etc.) for 8 days and very weak (slept 12-14 hours per day, not by choice) for three or four more weeks. I don't think I truly recovered for six months. Then again, some people get right through it. Many people test positive for the antibodies, i.e. their immune systems have fought it off, yet cannot recall ever having it. (In these cases it was most likely mistaken for flu, since both are viral infections with some common symptoms.)

The bad part is that you stay contagious for a while after you've broken the initial illness. I was told not to "exchange saliva" (they made it sound so romantic) for a month after I was finally diagnosed. The 30th day happened to be prom weekend. We chanced it.

Take care, listen to your doctors even if they don't tell you what you want to hear, and I hope you feel better soon.

Are you sure it's mono?
If your throat hurts badly, you might have strep. Have you been to a doc?

 

[Ladies Man]

yeah i went to the doc
i was hoping it was strep

but my glands are swollen and the blood test said mono soooo

 

[PalmettoTiger]

Hah - now you have to call all of the girls you've hooked up with in the past month or so and tell them you have mono, and you might have given it to them. It's almost like getting v.d.: "Yeah, I'm really sorry, and if I knew I had had it I definitely would have been more careful, blah blah blah."

I'll leave the obligatory "computer geeks don't have to worry because they don't get much action" joke to someone else.

 

[Missus]
