Aight, gotta rant this one up. Got this shit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infectious_mononucleosis
and its no fun i tell ya... Yesterday i went home early from school because I had pains in my throath and froze like fuck. Got home and fell asleep and woke up with fever and shit, fine i thought, everyone gets a fever now and then. But then the night came and I couldnt sleep cus I was sweating and freezing, and then it happened, i threw up like fuck.
So today i went to the doctor, not because of the fever or the puking but because I cant close my mouth because it hurts so much, i cant swallow anything so i havent eaten in two days and i only drink but that hurts like fuck then i end up throwing it up anyway.
I just want this to be over... this is probably the first time i feel sad for myself in my whole life

Also that night I had the wackest dream ever, or tbh I dont know if I dreamed or not, but I remember I watched HuK vs NesTea, and since NesTea dropped down I had this dream were incontrol was in code a and managed to beat nestea and the world stopped still and shit
|
well... you at least got the kissing? 
|
Nah thats the problem, dunno how I got this tbh :/ The doctor said if you get it when your a baby you only get a cold but if you never got it as a baby it explodes when you get it
|
A guy I knew got that when we were freshmen in high school, he didn't come to school for like a week or something and then he was fine after that.

Mono's probably the worst shit ever. I had it when I was a freshman in college and it came back to trouble me years later. It's a member of the herpes family, so it stays in your body (dormant) FOREVER. For most people it never makes a comeback but for people like me who have shitty immune systems, eat poorly, and never get enough sleep, there can be relapses.
My only advice is to sleep as much as possible. I probably slept 15 hours a day when I had mono (acute phase lasts ~1 month). Let your teachers know ahead of time and skip class if you have to. I wish you a fast recovery bro.
|
You can get it if you ever shared a cup/bottle with someone or shared any food with someone that had it recently (even if they don't have symptoms anymore). Not only through kissing unfortunately =/.
|
A friend of mine got this in highschool, also. He had to postpone his school-leaving exam because of that... So I guess stay strong and positive  Good luck.
|
Thanks all! Thats the worst thing about this, you cant make yourself immune in order not to get and when you get it you simply has to wait it out...
Makes me wonder, I often share bottles and such but no of my friends had this...

Holy shit, I didn't realize mono was so bad. I though you just slept a lot and felt kinda shitty overall. Hope you get better soon!
|
Mono is terrible, unless you get lucky and have a mild case, but a severe case is dreadful. I got it somehow (no idea how) in my senior year of highschool and was out for three months. Was sick in bed for 2-3weeks, almost had to go to the hospital cuz my throat was so swollen. Then once you're past feeling like shit, you're tired and weak as hell for at least a month. fun.

Did you forget to circle, circle, dot, dot? What you have sounds like cooties
|
what ? circle circle dotdot, cooties?
|
American saying I guess. " Circle, circle, dot, dot. Now I've got my cooties shot"
|
I had mono when I was in the first or second grade... It wasn't fun at all. I don't remember much of it, but I do remember the day my family brought me to the doctor I had fallen to the floor in the bathroom because I was in so much pain. You really can't do much of anything with mono. Hopefully you can stick through it without many more problems! I got lucky because I got it young, so I don't really remember much, but I can remember bits and pieces. I do remember, however, that it passed quickly enough, so with hope you find similar luck! ^_^
FYI, I didn't get it because I was the most pimpin' 1st/2nd grader around, but rather because 1st/2nd graders have no idea how to not slob all over the water-fountain. T_T;

Shouldn't have kissed someone... it seems to have worked for throughout my life thus far :-/.

I think you can also get it by sharing drinks with people. Happens on sports teams a lot.
Also to the op i know you want it to be over but mono lasts a longgggggg time it sucks.
|
oh man I remember when like 5 people in my class had it all at once and were out for almost 2 weeks... Good luck OP
|
Hit up 30,000 IU of vitamin D per day until it goes away.
It will help significantly.

Oh gosh, sorry. It was a bad joke.
Here's circle, circle, dot, dot and cooties was a fake disease you get from the opposite gender that the children invented.
Sorry, I shouldn't make light of a situation like this. I hope you get well soon man. Too bad it sounds like you got it from a drink and not from a girl
|
ive heard the song tbh, never had an idea what its about tho, meh we all need some happiness in all this trouble :p
Thats the thing, I feel like and my mindset is the same as if I had a fever, one,two days and its gone but thats not the case...
|
But how can I get infected when no of my friends have ever had it?
|
I've never had it before so this isn't some kind of personal experience but I heard the symptoms can recur. Have you ever been sick like this before? If you got it when you were young then the symptoms aren't supposed to be as bad as when you're an adult. Also that wikipedia article you linked says it's a type of herpes, so maybe you got it from your parents even though they aren't experiencing symptoms right now? Or you might be able to get it from anyone who's ever had it before, I'm not sure. Cold sores are a type of herpes and they stick with you for the rest of your life and are highly contagious. I don't think it's completely crazy that you got mono.
|
Well the doctor said, that if you get this as a kid, you get a cold sort of. But when you get it now in the teenages, it explodes and has this effect so I dont think ive had it before, and yeah it will stay with you for the rest of your life but you will only get it again if your immune blabla is really bad
|
My sister had a very severe case. She couldn't eat or drink anything, projectile vomit when she tried. Could barely talk. She had to stay in the hospital on IV for at least a week or two. Lost 15-20 pounds (and she was already skinny). Really horrible.
|
My roomate sophomore year in college had it and missed the last 2 months of fall semester. Ended up in the hospital for over a week, since he was already sick as fuck to begin with, he ended up getting bronchitis AND strep all the same time, he actually almost died. Had to go on some crazy fucking steroids, needless to say he missed finals and tanked his gpa since one of his professors refused to give him the final.
I know some people who've recovered in 1-2 weeks though, and thankfully I've never gotten it. Best of luck though, hopefully you don't end up as bad as some of the stories here, and at least if you don't you'll be able to take something positive out of the fact you didn't get it that bad lol
|
the funny thing is when i post this everyone post the worst experiences possible... Oh you guys, thank you so much
|
I only caught mono this year after moving to NY, no idea how I picked it up. Knocked me out for about a good two weeks, complete with fever and mild hallucinations.

Yea it's kind of like chicken pox. I got it earlier I think. It sounds like it hit you pretty hard. That sucks man.
Sleep a lot. Drink Fluids. Don't kiss anyone.

Seven other wrestlers and I got mono at regionals. Try explaining that to your asshole friends when the newspaper runs an article about it.

Get morphine bro, it makes everything better.

IIRC more than 90% of over 30 year old people have traces of the virus in their systems. Again, IIRC you are immune to it after you had it once, even if it becomes active again. However, if it becomes active you are still able to infect others. It spreads through body fluids.
And again, IIRC kissings disease is one of those virusses that can leave you feeling weak for up to a year, although I believe that thats something that all virus infections can do. But IIRC it happens especially often with kissings disease.

Mono sucks. I got that right off the bat in college, missed a solid month and a half of work and school and lost like 30 or 40 pounds. Fun stuff.

D: feel better soon! I've never had mono but a friend of mine had it this summer. She said she could barely eat and that even walking up the stairs exhausted her.
