Yeah, think I'm past the worst of it. Sore throat's gone, sleeping is more regular, etc.

Bummer, I've heard that Mono is a bitch.
Like Glaive said, lots of rest!

Ehh, nah. Just like a month long cold/cough. Sure, the coughing gets annoying, but its nothing terrible. And I like the fatigue, lol. Sleeping rules.

its seriously the worst illness i ever had.
i went to the hospital 2 times in 1 week because i couldn't even swallow water...(made it kinda hard to take vicoden...haha)

lol wait till you can't swallow anything Snowy..
I dropped 20 lbs when I had mono.. I couldn't eat or get fluids down for two weeks.and when I could.. i gagged half of it back up.. I almost had to go to the hospital for tubes. NOT FUN
Get your mum to buy you some ensure... those are the best drinks for supplements..
Trust me ;) It ain't this cold that will last a month... it was with me for a year... and I gave it to the 2 people I dated.... it sucks.. a hella lot

All I have to say to the extent in which you had mono, vTEC.. is dang. That's probably mono at its worst.. heck, I think it is.
vTEC - April 4, 2007 02:00 PM (GMT)
well good to know you're still kicking :P
I know mono has different forms.... it sucks none the less..
DONT GO KISSING ANYONE FOR A FEW MONTHS.. or be prepared to take care of them if you're dating em ;)

I had mono and strep at the same dang time, dropped from 225 to 185 in two weeks thanks to the first doctor blowing the diagnosis. When the second Doctor saw me she said I looked like death and ordered up an insane battery of tests. After the mono she told me to go gain 30 pounds as I was grossly under weight BMI my ass lol.
PS
I'm not playing the what's worse card, any bout of mono no matter how it goes is crappy, and you being younger and smaller than I was probably made it much harder on you than mine was on me.
