My 19 year old son came home from his freshman year of college with good grades and....A bad case of mono! He's about 5 weeks into it and is still feeling "pretty crappy" to quote him. His appetite is in the dumpster and his doctor put him on prednisone to give him a boost.

Anyone out there have any experience with mono and have any advice, etc. To offer for me to pass on to him?

Thanks,
cindy
