After recovering from my first bout with mono. (lasting about a month and a half), I returned to work for about 6-8 weeks, and then entered into a 'relapse' (confirmed positive by an ebv antibody blood test), and am now suffering once again from the virus. Toward the beginning of my 'healthy' period between the two virus attacks, I began immunology injections for severe allergies. I have been receiving twice weekly injections for my allergies, and now with the mono. Relapse, my doctor has suggested we try decreasing the dosage (rather than slowly increasing as we had been), and giving them to me 3 times a week instead. This was in response to my inquiry and visit to him, as I am worried that the shots are confusing my immune system and slowing my recovery time from the mono, again, the second time around. He explained that while they are both affecting my immune system (the mono and the shots), one is a virus and the other environmental. Prior to receiving the allergy shots, I was in a very foggy, drowsy state, and would have excrutiating, itching attacks on my skin, preventing me from being able to sleep. I would wake up in the night, jumping into the shower, covering myself in creams and lotions, feeling like I wanted to literally itch the flesh off my body. To return to this state, in combination with my fatigue from mono, is not appealing in the least, but if my recovery is being delayed with the mono, I am wondering which is the lesser of the two evils. I am looking for a second opinion... Is my doctor on the right track with continuing the allergy shots, or should we stop them? And with it being june, how much longer am I going to have to deal with the mono??!!! Thank you!!!
