Q: Mono And Hypoglyecmia

Hi, just a post to get the word out here because the mistake is commonly made. Many people who get mono mistakenly believe afterwards that they have "chronic ebv." this is rare, and in most cases, for some odd reason, the virus sets off hypoglyecmia in the body. If you find yourself extremely tired, depressed, anxious, confused, and a host of other symptoms that don't seem to relate to the virus, make sure to have a gtt done so you can rule out hypoglycemia. I got it after a mono infection hit my liver and it took two years to figure out why I was still feeling bad after the virus was gone. If you find you do have this, come over to our forum. Otherwise, to give some advice, I found that eating plain yogurt with l.Acidophilus and drinking freshly squeezed lemon juice mixed with 1-2 cups of water did wonders for getting through the infection.

Dear stan

i have mono for 7 weeks. It doesn't seem to go away.I can't go to work and I feel horrible! I did a blood test to find out about mono. What are the symptoms of hypoglekemia? Also, given that the fact that I had a blood test, shouldn't it showed on my results that I have hypoglykemia?

Thank you in advance

Stan

No, it won't show anything. You have to be tested specifically for hypoglycemia. Just for everyone to know, it's simply the opposite of diabetes, except that you can't have sugar ever again, though that seems contradictory. The symptoms are so numerous unfortunately that it's impossible to give a full list. If you have it though you'll notice the same set of say 8-10 symptoms cycling. You may be extremely depressed one day, anxious the next, delusion the next, fine for two, then really tired and so forth. It cycles, but it can mimic pretty much every psychiatric disorder out there as well as create a host of odd symptoms like choking sensations, swollen throat, swollen lymph nodes, musclar twitching, slurred speech and so forth.

Dear stan

tnanks a lot with your reply. My mono symptoms is that I get tired very easily... If I push myself too much I feel like fainting, I am extremely dehydrated even though I drink about a gallon or liquids everyday and push myself to eat as much as possible.. Since eating gives me energy for a while. I have seen my doctor 3 times and she believes that is all due to mono. I have been diagnose for 7 weeks now. During the 3-4 first weeks I had fever and headaches but they gone away. Are my symptoms normal? Is there any medication I take to get better.

Thanks a lot for your time and attention.

If you have mono which can show up on a blood test(ebv) their is outpatient iv treatments you can receive weekly, I had them, you really should check with your dr as I am no drbut I do believe that their are tests for both along with chronic fatigue syndrome.
Good luck!
Keep us posted.

Dear sandyallen

i had general check-up and everything is ok. But I has tested positive for
ebv. Since I am not familiar, are the iv treatmetn tests for checking your mono condition or is something else. Can I take them from a drugstore or do I need a doctors prescription? Also, did you had mopno too? I am 28 year old made. I have been told that the older you are the longer it takes to get better.

Thanks a lot
