Hello, I am a 27 yo male. About 4 weeks
ago on a business trip I felt bad, went to
the doctor and they told me it was
dehydration. Kept going back every week
because I didn't feel better. Finally I
got a positive monospot test the day
before I left. This was almost 2 weeks
ago, so I was sick for approx 2 weeks
before and have been so since i've been
home. However I didn't have much of the
classic mono signs apart from alot of
fatigue and a slight sore throat with a
slight temp which has since gone down.
I went to the Dr. Today and found liver
function normal, wbc elevated but still
within norm range as well as high norm
rbc.Platelets are in the mid norm range.
Neutrophile and monocyte are both high but
lymphocyte is low norm. Is this normal
blood work for infectious mono? I am
concerned because I have been sicker than
normal for the past year but was always
told it's a common virus. But the same
thing over and over is a little
troublesome to me. Hopefully i'm just
worrying because I am stuck at home with
the internet, lol. Anyway I deeply
appreciate any help on this!

I would ask the Dr. If he checked your
ferritin levels.
That is the iron store in your liver that
depletes before anemia sets in.
I've had to have iron infusions in the
past for the same symptoms you have
described, except my mono was when I was
26, I am now 42.
Thyroid function test would seem like an
option as well.
If you have any luck...Post back!
