    Default I have Mono...

    I feel icky inside and out. I've been skipping class and just laying in my bed all day. I finally got up and went to the doctor an that is what she diagnosed me with. My tonsils have cottage-cheese like shit comin out of them, and I can barely swallow. Oh, and my neck and ears hurt. Sorry to sound like such a baby, but I have no one here to take care of me...

    Besides taking the Z-pac the doc prescribed what else can I do to take the pain away??

    Does Z-pac even affect mono? Its a virus! Zithromicin always made me feel really sick. I wouldn't take it, she just prescribed it to make you think it will help.

    Get someone to make you some STRONG and GREASY chicken soup.

    The doc says I have a bacterial infection. My ears are killing me and my throat hurts really bad.

    Bella, I've been skipping school the past week and a half because I just couldn 't bring myself to get out of bed. And now I know why..I guess no work for me this weekend

    Sounds like you may have mono as well as strep throat. Finish your antibiotics, eat your chicken soup, and get lots of rest. Hope you feel better soon.

    I had mono 3 years ago and it kicked my ass...the only thing that worked for me was SLEEP - LOTS of sleep!!! Mine started out as strep throat/tonsillitis and when I didn't get better after antibiotics, they did bloodwork and found it was mono.

    You probably won't have an appetite, but try to eat. I drank a lot of smoothies and ate a lot of soup.

    Feel better soon!!!

    yeah, mono sucks. a Lot

    sleep or at least rest as much as you can. lots of fluids. i took a sublingual vitamin b complex that seemed to help me regain my energy faster once i was getting better.

    but seriously, rest as much as possible! i didn't think i needed to when i first got sick and i ended up stuck in bed for a good month and a half. and i didn't feel normal again for another 3 or 4 months. it was lousy.

    hope you get well quickly!!

    Yuck! I remember when I had mono back in grade school I missed over 3 weeks of class. I reiterate what everyone else has said a bout feeling better and in addition: have you told your professors yet what's going on? because mono will seriously kick your bootay...don't be afraid to ask student records for a medical withdrawal if it gets to that point...I hope it doesn't get to that point but mono is no joke, chica...feel better *hands cinn a bowl of homemade chicken soup*

    Thanks for the suggestions. I finally was able to drag myself out of bed to come to campus to get some work done. I really hope that I won't need to withdraw from my classes. That would really suck ass!!!

    My throat is not hurting as much as it was on Thursday but my ears are still killing me. And I'm soooooooo tired. I walked from my house to the bus stop (10min walk) and dam near felt like laying on the dam bench outside I was so tired. I told my sociology teacher I was gonna come to class tomorrow but hell now I'm not so sure.

    nah screw that stay in bed and rest. I had mono when i was young but i remember that it can come back quick if you do not fully recover properly. Have ur teachers send u work through email so u dont have to drag urself through class. It wont be worth it if u are weak and tired in class anyway. Laying in bed with ur work at ur own pace is better. No withdrawls, teachers will accomodate for this sort of situation esp early in the semester. Feel better !
