Hey all.. I am a 19 year old girl from Iceland and I was diagnosed with mono in October last year. The first months were really tough and I had spleen problems and was very sick.. I then got over that, but what followed was a constant feeling of being tired, and always half-sick..
I have now been sick almost for over a year, with few and brief periods of feeling healthy and energetic.
As I type, I am at home with a fever and sore throat, fatigue and all that fun stuff that have been bugging me daily for over a year.
Is this normal??? Has this happened to other people with mono? What should I do? I haven't been to a doctor in a while, mainly because they always just say that it's coincidental that I am sick so much and has nothing to do with the mono.
I have tried everything to try to not get sick, I'm eating very healthy, exercising when I'm not too sick to do it, I take vitamins and I get a good night's sleep every night, I don't party nor do I wear myself down. I drink loads of tea to prevent my throat from feeling too sore, etc etc etc.
Is this something that happens to people who get mono??
