Mono sucks. I had it in Junior High. You will seriously not feel like doing anything for about 2-3 weeks. On the plus side, once you get it once you are immune. So if you guys get really bored, give me a call and I'll come over since you can't get me sick :P

so you are aware mekhetseer January 6 2005, 04:27:43 UTC

you can get mono easier after you have it once. but just as long as you aren't making out with trav or me or drinking off our drinks you should be fine.
just so you are aware.

hmm. I was specifically told by my doctor that you could only get it once. Apparently you never fully get rid of it. But I don't know, that was like 7 years ago. Maybe they have found out something new. Or my memory could be wrong. Or I could have switched universes again(I come from one where James Earl Jones is dead). Who knows.

yeah well looks like we were both misinformed. youre not immune to it but your body will already know how to fight it so its not so easy to catch. found this out today. called my doctor. sorry for the misinformation.

rest and drink lots of fluids. drink gatorade if you'll drink more of that than water. just don't drink gatorade if you are retaining water. and unless you are sweeling, i doubt that. it's kind of a pregnancy kidney failure kinda thing.

uh oh mekhetseer January 7 2005, 06:18:00 UTC

that may be a problem. my doctor took a blood test from me because she wanted to see how my insides were doing. lots of pressure in my stomach and ive gain weight. this is scary because im still not exactly sure of what mono even is!! aaaaaaaaaaaaah! help please??

Mononeucleosis is the full name of the illness. It's a virus, a particularly nasty one that tends to hang on for dear life. But the way it attacks your body you just get the general fatigue and a susceptability to anything else that comes your way. Hence the tonsilitis. Since it's a virus there's no anitibiotic that will help, you just have to help your body kick it, hence the drink lots of clear fuids and rest, alot ( ... )
