So am I. *sigh* Thanks for letting me know, the tips are great. I'll try not to worry too much.Originally Posted by carolcat
Try not to worry, I had it in high school too, and after about three weeks it was gone. It does make you feel tired, so get some extra rest if you can and try not to over do it. As far as I know, as long as you are sensable you don't have anything to worry about. Sorry you had to get this over the holidays. Good luck
A really long time? Oh no!Originally Posted by mamacat
Aw, I'm sorry. That's no fun. I've never had it, but I've known a couple of people who have, and the most important thing is to take really good care of yourself. Make sure you rest as much as possible, get a good night's sleep every night, eat well. Mono lasts a really long time as it is, and if you don't take good care of yourself, it will only last longer.
You poor thing. I hope you feel better soon.
I've warned a few people. Thanks for your concern.Originally Posted by Kumbulu
I've never had Mononucleosis but I'm sending lots of get well soon vibes.
'Mono' is usually spread through saliva while kissing so that may help in finding out where you got it or if you need to warn anyone that you have it.
There's an article on it here: http://familydoctor.org/077.xml
Doh! (smacks self in forehead) I'm sorry, I didn't mean to freak you out, that was unthinking of me. I just meant that it lasts longer than, say, a cold. It can last 3 or 4 weeks or longer, but not, like, months. Sorry I was such a dolt!Originally Posted by Ilovecats
A really long time? Oh no!How long? It really isn't fun. I'll try my best to care for my self as much as I can. I am SO tired.I know...*hugs tightly* I hope so too.
BEFORE MY 13th birthday!! lolOriginally Posted by fwan
i had meningiatis a month before my birthday.
I hadnt kissed anybody by then so i dont know how i got it and back then i wasnt keen on sharing things.
I remember that i ate a hotdog at school and the girls looked at me funny then by 3 pm i needed to go to the toilet really badly and in the evening i had stomac cramps. the next morning i couldnt stop throwing up.
I couldnt stop for 5 days! everything i put in my mouth i would throw up!
i didnt go to school for 3 weeks, to peopel it sounded like i had food poisoning but who knows.
Thanks Ash. I'll try.Originally Posted by ash_bct
Oh no! I had it a few years ago
Sleep as much as you feel you need to, and try to eat healthy, basically, take VERY good care of yourself and it won't be as bad.
It is best to try to find out where you got it from, just so if you shared anything with anyone, ect, those people can get to a doctor as well.
I got mine from sharing a straw with a friend who had it and didn't know.
Feel better soon
