Mononucleosis

Thoughts

I got Mono about a year ago (pre op) and it took me a solid 2 weeks off work before I even started to feel better. I was given meds while I was in the throws of the virus, but once it was in its way out, nothing. I also had hepatitis along with it (just the definition of the word: swelling of the liver, not the hep virus!!). I didn't get any more meds for that other than an antibiotic. This virus really is a "take care until it passes" sort of thing. She'll likely feel tired for a few more weeks. My immune system was sluggish for a few MONTHS afterward. 

Hope she gets to feeling better soon.  I'm B-12 deficient & have to take injections every month along with daily supplements, I have no energy if I don't take them + extra iron.  Hope she will get well soon.

I had mono several times in my teens. I was burning the candle at both ends, attending school, working 30+ hours a week and well being a teenager. I got very little sleep. The doctor didn't tell me to take any vitamins but he did get on me to get 8 hours of sleep a night. He said being tired and run down made me more likely to get it.

My daughter got mono when she was 25. She is now 31 and whenever she gets a bug her lymph nodes swell to the size of golf balls, and she is laid up for days. I think the fatigue is the worst for her

It is a virus they stays in your body.My son had it when he was 16 and he wasn't allowed to participate in gym for months after even though he was feeling better.
