I have mono, and I know that the doc.
Says I should'nt do any activities or
heavy lifting for about 4 weeks. For the
last year iv been bodybuilding and I dont
want all my hard work to go to waste while
I sit around and do nothing. No physical
activity for four weeks will ruin me, i'll
look like a vegi. The other thing is I
generally eat alot, which wont help now.
What am I suppost to do during this time?

Hi,
my doctor told me that people with mono
can still do light weight lifting, but not
heavy lifting, because you don't want to
rupture your spleen. If I were you, I
would just do some light cardio and light
lifting until you are better. Your body
will "let you know" when to stop.
Anyway, only 10% of people with mono have
enlargened spleens.

Are you the one who asked .Dr a
question--if you are I would make sure the
.Dr checks out your spleen. Because
there is a chance of damage there with
mono. And the swollen belly could be a
sign of the spleen having damage. And no
contact sport--no over exerting yourself.
