Anybody here ever get it? It started on Monday, April 17th. I got a sore throat and by Wednesday it was a full blown cold or so I thought. I thought that on Saturday I'd be getting better. I felt worse with really bad muscle aches, fatigue, and a really annoying cough. I went too the doctor on Tuesday of this week. She diagnosed with mononucleosis (mono). She said it could last for to six weeks. I hope doesn't. This is my senior year in high school. I don't mean to sound like a baby but if any of you had it then what did you do to pass the time?

I got it last summer. I sucked a lot. Make sure you stay hydrated and eat well. I know it's really painful, but that's what really helped me get through it in a couple of weeks.

As for passing the time, I had just bought Battlefield 2, so I was either playing that or sleeping.

I got mono in the beginning of the school year and was diagnosed as anemic at the same time. Much fun. It took waaaayyyy longer than 6 weeks (more like a few months) for me to feel up to par, but I also had an extremely bad case of it.

Make sure to force yourself to eat, at least ice cream or smoothies if not anything more substancial. If not, you'll end up losing an obscene amount of weight and you'll look and feel like crap for even longer.

As far as passing the time, I mostly slept all day and rarely had any real time to fill.

Just be happy it's mono. If it's already that bad, just think how much worse it'd have been if it was stereo.

Badum che!

You didn't need to tell us how.

How did you get it. hmm?

At least it's not HERPES.

Get better soon

A friend of mine got mono from her first kiss.

Could someone, pray tell what Mono is?

Monaural audio

Brilliant.

So I gather that it is contagious?

Now you know why I don't participate in the mansecking here anymore.

Disease you get by kissing someone else with Mono. A friend of mine got it after we caught him kissing a strange girl at Six Flags, haha serves him right. >.>

Mono does suck.

Too late. It's not funny the second time.

You can get it through any exchange of saliva, like taking a drink someone else's cup or sharing chapstick.

Or you could get it by making out with random strangers. Whatever.

Yeah. I got it from my brother. (no you sickos, we weren't making out). Sharing a water bottle at soccer games.

I do not, ya butthole.

Why did you assume we would think you two were making out? Maybe you are being defensive just to throw us off! Maybe you were actually making out with your brother!

it's mononucleosis Boco, give it a google

well, avenger's brother is cute. i don't blame him for making out with him. i do blame him for getting to third base with him, though.
