CONFESS!!! Valentine's Day special - who here had Mono? How did you get it |
|
I got Mono at the end of 11th grade. I was dating someone at the time but he was not affected so I'm not sure who I got mono from but I'm sure there were a few random guys I made out with at the local roller skating rink (I was such a tease).
The good news is I had been wanting to break up with my boyfriend but everytime I tried he got all weepy on me. With the mono I couldn't see anyone for 2 months so I just pretty much quit returning his calls.
Perhaps God gave me mono cause he knew this guy was not right for me!

4. I had mono in the middle of my senior year at HS. |

I was an exchange student in New Zealand at the time and also for the first time I had a real boyfriend. He gave it to me.

6. I had Epstein-Barr as an adult. |
|
It took a long time for them to diagnose it because it didn't turn into infectious mono. It just lingered along for a long time and the doctor I went to said that since I was up and around it couldn't be mono. (I worked the whole time in a state hospital.)
Nearly two months later I had passed out from exhaustion and went to the on-call doctor. The diagnosis was almost immediate.

It wasn't too bad, I only missed a couple days of school and never went to the doc so it wasn't an official diagnosis. I asked about it later and he said I probably had a really mild case. For a few weeks I was able to go to school (I was taking AP biology and pre calc so didn't want to miss too much class and fall behind) but when I came home I slept, got up to eat and do homework, then went to bed for the night. What I really remember is cervical lymph nodes being incredibly swollen and hot for a long time and the skin over them was peeling off. My BF at the time didn't have symptoms.

8. Had it when I was fifteen or sixteen...no idea how I got it. |
|
Could have been everything from kissing to sharing bongs for all I know. :)
It was easily the sickest I've ever been.
