Question on mono?!


Question: I was very sick for about a week with mono and since then have slowly gotten better. It has been about a month since the first, intense symptoms came on.

While I am going to class and work pretty much just fine I am still very tired and often feel somewhat sick for a few hours everyday or every other day. It seems to be generally getting better, but is it normal to still be experiencing this a month later?

Can the fatigue and times of feeling just generally sick last a month out from the mono? How much longer can these things last?

Yes, it can take months for you to feel energized again. Take a multi-vitamin, eat well, drink plenty of fluids, and get lots of rest. Be patient, you will be tired for awhile, and feel dragged out...what you are describing is typical! It took my daughter about three months to recover 100%.

Seems like your immune system is having a tough time!

I'd just rest up, for the time you are at home. And keep up the vitamin C! Oh, and maybe invest in some multivitamins, to help speed your recovery?

If it lasts for another week/week + half then I'd get it checked out, cause you should have healed by then.
