Mono Twice ... Need Some Advice Posted: 04-25-06 08:59am
I read the thread where someone had
thought that they had mono twice and I
have some questions ...
I had mono when I was in high school ...
Around 16 yrs old. It didnt affect me
all that much (besides swollen tonsils)
because I had my spleen removed a year
earlier (steph infection).
Well I am currently 24 years old and in
the army. I have had swollen tonsils for
a while now and went to get them checked
out. Turns out that my mono test came
back positive. The doctor said that I
should just continue to do what I have
been doing and it will go away. He said
that since I dont have a spleen and the
other test came back negative (i guess
that means that there is nothing seriously
wrong?) I should be fine. Well its been
about 6 - 7 weeks (total) that have had
mono. My tonsils are still swollen and I
havent gotten a good nights sleep in who
knows how long. Also I am experiencing a
problem with some physical activity.
Being in the army you do pt everyday
(sometimes twice) and I have started to
lag behind in runs and its really
affecting me. What should I do? When I
last talked to the doctor I asked him that
if I dont feel better in 6 - 7 weeks
should I return, and he just said "sure,
then I will tell you to go back work
because I cant give you anything to make
it go away" .... I dont know what to do,
and I need some advice
