To begin with, I have mono (as if you couldn't tell that already). I had to drop out of my school and become home schooled on oct 21st and have barely left the house since. I was rushed to the emergency room on oct 14 from school with what appeared to be appendicitis and was later told that, despite the sharp pain in my right side, that could not be it. I was unable to attend school the rest of the week and tried to go back one more day, the 21st, but was unable to make it past 9:30 am. Since then I have developed an enlarged spleen (2x normal size as of last week) and inflamed liver, I practically have no immune system and have had the flu 3 times and more chest colds than I care to remember, among the other normal symptoms of mono. I would not be here if I wasn't scared for my own sanity. For the last month or so, I have had such vivid hallucinations that I have either not been able to sleep, and when I do manage to get to sleep, I have such vivid dreams that I wake up or don't ever get rested, even if I did sleep 18 hours. It always seems to be the same thing for a little while then it changes. For instance, last week I was seeing bunnies (laugh and die) pop out of no where. Two days ago I was seeing faces in windows and mirrors and just popping out of thin air. Right now i'm seeing lots and lots of bees. The worst part is when I think my mom is in the room with me and I don't realize she's not until I ask here why she's not responding to a question and try to touch her arm or shoulder and then she's not there. Same thing with our pets and the rest of my family members, they're there and then they're not. Yet another problem that seems to only have developed in earnest a few days to a week ago is random pain shooting through my body via my nervous system. If you have ever had someone who was taking your blood and they hit a nerve, that's what it feels like, but all over your body at once and tenfold. Our doctor is at a loss, she knows that it's connected to mono, she just doesn't know what to do or how to treat it. I am so tired of just hearing that I should sleep and get lots of rest and then do school work, because I can't do it due to severe paranoia. Grr.

Bravo to you if you have gotten to this point of my lengthy story, but if you happen to know that this happens to people with mono often or if you know some way to help me out with really any part of it, please, do tell! Thanks! :d
