if they did a mono test they did not to a thyroid test because they were looking for mono and it wasn't a blood test that generally checks all you numbers and levels of stuff in you blood!. i have hyperthyroidsim!. my levels were way too high!. it sounds to me like you do have it!. i had the same symptoms as you plus if you have any of these you can be evne more sure!. mood swings, sweating, shakey hands, fast heart beat, to fix me i just needed to be on a beta blocker to slow my heart rate then my levels became normal again and was taken off the medication with in a couple of months that was last year around this time and i have had no problems since!. so yes go to you doctor and ask for a thyroid blood test!. tell them your symptoms and they will do the test!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
