Went to the Doctor

baboles · #1 09-12-2008, 05:59 PM

Well I went to the doctor 2 days ago and they told me I have MONO. So I'm basically going to be tired and ill for the next 4-6weeks.

Words of wisdom: Don't ever drink or eat after anyone!!!

I need some cheering up.

Listen to some upbeat music that makes you want to dance. It may help.

I had mono when I was a kid. Hang in there- every day is bringing you closer to getting well.

That's a shame, but it might prove to be a real boon. Like Lindsey, lying in bed for weeks, you too might write your "I'm So Afraid"!

Yeah, I've had mono. It sucks really. I remember my throat being very sore & being kind of tired. I didn't think it would ever go away. I think my boyfriend (now my husband) at the time gave it to me. They say though that a person can carry the virus & not come down with it. I still to this day blame him to which he says well, I never had it. Anyway, hang in there. Hope you feel better.

Thanks guys. The problem is that I'm so weak I don't care about anything. My cat could die tomorrow and I just wouldn't care. That's how bad I feel.

Hang in there! It is the most miserable feeling in the world

. I slept alot

. And like Lee, I started dating someone in January and got mono in February. I still think he is the source but he states he never had it but like you said people can be carriers and not exhibit the symptoms.

Be very careful! My 15 year old daughter got sick. They called it mono. She was sick for about two months...she went from 142 in the summer (August) pounds down to 103 by November. The doctors kept saying it was mono and that we would have to wait it out. She was so sick, and had no energy.

They finally tested her for diabetes. Her blood sugar was so high it was off the meter. The meter quit at 600. Then after her diagnosis, her thyroid went bad and she lost all her hair.

She has Type 1 Diabetes and wears an insulin pump. It was a terrible misdiagnosis.... And they kept telling us, it was mono.

OMGosh that's horrible!!! Let's hope I have MONO. I'm really bummed because I have been working out and trying to gain weight and now they tell me I can't exercise for at least 4 weeks. So much for my workouts.

Whew Besty. That is an awful thing to hear & my heart goes out to you on that. My stomach sank when I read that. I am very sorry to hear that.

I had mono back in April. I was at 158 and went down to 150. Do you have a sore throat? When I had it I could barely swallow water. Plus, I was at school two hours away from home, it was really scary. Hang in there and sleep as much as possible.
