She had been feeling 'tired', but kept up her hectic pace, till, collapse. Then when doc said, "Mono, bedrest", she literally slept for days-waking up for juice and soup. After a week, she was could stay awake a couple hours, then back to sleep. Her's was bad, sounds like yours may be too. Good luck!Originally Posted by LiberalNation

Man my fever just came back.
Back started aching and I got chilled, only 100 tho and I just took some tylonal. Now I can't take a hot bath for the aching muscles. What's with fevers and coming on worse at night.

When do you get the results? I'm feeling for you. It was the sickest I've ever seen my daughter.

Well now just get in bed, drink juice and sleep. My guess is the guess is right. If not strep, sure sounds like mono.

Went to school today sick but mom wanted to talk to the principle and I done missed too many days. He said I skipped 2 days in a row, I said I didn't, wouldn't tell my mom anything cuz I'm 18 and she ain't allowed to know anymore. Pissed my mom off and she kinda told him off saying they'd been jerking me around. Wish she hadn't made him mad, he thinks I'm a liar and is going to come down hard on me now because of it. Basic school prick. I wouldn't have skipped two days in a row, I don't think I'm lying, I honestly don't remember just not coming to school two days in a row. 12 more weeks of hell now, their gona be out to prove anyway I'm a bad kid and they're right. Lucky mom could get ahold of my dad when she was mad and piss him off, he'd want to tell the principle a thing or two and their personalities would clash.

I'm not trying to be judgmental here, but why weren't you at home today, sleeping? Temp last night, rule of thumb is 24 hours without temperature relievers?

Mom made me and read post 389. I'm already dealing with a principle my mom pissed off who thinks I'm a liar and a skipper. Stress on top of being sick, could be nerves making my breathing difficult, I don't know. Never had trouble in school before. Kept asking what i was doing skipping those days when I don't no anybody to be riding around with while staring me down.
Going to start work tomorrow at the nursing home. Can't put it off.

I can understand your thinking. If it IS mono, you'll be out, not matter how strong your will.

Does mono have any complications?
Sometimes. The main serious concern with mono is that the spleen will enlarge and even rupture (tear open). The spleen is like a large gland. It's located in the upper part of your abdomen on the left side. It helps filter your blood.
Although a ruptured spleen is rare in people with mono, it's wise to be aware of the signs and call your doctor right away if you notice any of them. Signs of a ruptured spleen include pain in the left upper part of your abdomen (under the left chest), feeling lightheaded, feeling like your heart is beating fast and hard, bleeding more easily than usual and having trouble breathing.
Can mono be cured?
No. But mono will go away on its own. Symptoms usually last about 4 weeks.

How is mono treated?
The main point of treatment is to relieve your symptoms. The following list includes tips on treatment:
* Rest.
* Drink plenty of fluids.
* If you have a sore throat, gargle with salt water, or suck on throat
lozenges, hard candy or flavored frozen desserts (such as Popsicles).
* You may want to take acetaminophen (one brand name: Tylenol) or
ibuprofen (some brand names: Advil, Motrin, Nuprin) to relieve pain and
fever. Do not give aspirin to children. Aspirin should be avoided because
it has been associated with a disease called Reye's syndrome in
children. Reye's syndrome is a serious illness that can lead to death.
Antibiotics like penicillin are of no help in mono. Mono is caused by a virus, and antibiotics don't work against viruses. If you have a bacterial infection in addition to having mono, your doctor may give you an antibiotic.
Avoid sports, activities or exercise of any kind until your doctor tells you it's safe. Moving around too much puts you at risk of rupturing your spleen. You need to avoid physical activities for about 3 to 4 weeks after the infection starts.

Oh test did show I had mono about 6 weeks ago but it's not acute anymore. Feeling better now.
Ahhhh, home. My feets hurt and legs and back. Started my first real day on the job at the nursing home.
So what I did today. Passed out food trays which are heavy as anything, fed residents, gave one a shower and got soaked. Then when I was drying her off she had a BM on the floor and I had to clean that up and rewash her. Pulled people up in bed, used the maxi lift for the first time, emptied catheter bags, took out trash, cleaned shower room, more feeding, wheeling people around. Some of those chairs are freakin heavy and hard to push. Yes i think I'll bitch everyday from now on until I stop this job in the fall. 5 months, sheesh.

Glad to hear. Hope there are no repercussions.
the man
Glad to hear you're feeling better, though.
