Do I have Mono or am I overreacting?!


Question: Do I have Mono or am I overreacting!?
I've never had mono before, so I wouldn't really know!.
I haven't kissed or made contact with anyone who has it, but I haven't been sleeping lately, and I heard that you can get it from lack of sleep!.
I have a sore throat, which happens if my throat gets dry and I don't drink anything for a few hours, which I didn't, because I was asleep!.!.!.
I get fevers, fatigue, and weakness frequently, because, to be perfectly honest, I overexert myself too much!.
I have drainage, so I'm thinking that it's just allergies, due to the fact that I have been feeling sick for a few days yet my lymph glands are not swollen, my skin hasn't paled, or any of the other symptoms other than fever and sore throat!.
I'm only asking this because I'm a bit of a paranoid hypochondriac when it comes to getting sick, so I thought I would just make sure!.
If it helps, I recently got my nose pierced and sometimes forget to clean it, but I doubt that has anything to do with it!.
Also, I'm rather susceptible to getting bad cases of allergies in spring and summer!.
SO, I'm just asking!. Thanks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Mono is something you will know when you have it because you will be very sick to start with!. Your throat will be extremely sore and you will have swollen glands and probably a high fever!. It's a little like strep throat only it last longer!. Only you will feel extremely tired!.

I don't think you have it because you don't seem that sick!. You probably have a cold!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i thought i had mono once
i had some of the same symptoms
and i got bloodwork done
and i just had a bladder infection
you might just have an infection
because they can wear down your body
and make you tired and even get fevers and sore throats
just go to your doctor
and if its mono they will help get you better
and same goes for if its just an infection

When I got mono I made my boyfriend get checked and he didn't have it!. It seems that if your run down or stressed and come in contact with the virus your more likely to get it!. It's called the kissing disease but since I hadn't kissed anyone other then my boyfriend and he didn't have it I must have been in contact some other way!. My mom said you could get it from sharing a drink with someone!. My 1st symptom wasn't being tired either, one morning I woke up and my eyes were swollen shut!. I went to the doctor and he diagnosed me as having mono!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
