I was extremely fatigue. I could even stand or sit up to take a shower. I was very very weak and always tired and night sweats. It was the worst feelings I have ever felt. I knew something was wrong. It took me almost a month to get back to normal. The doctor prescribed iron pills to produce more cells. I was about 19 at the time when it happened. I believe I got mono from drinking off my girlfriend's cup who had mono. That's how I knew I had it because she said she just was getting over mono. Ever since I am always really tired and weak.

I am 58 and was diagnosed with mono almost a month ago, I was tired and had headaches for about a month before finally going in for blood work. Now my muscles are burning and I am having muscle spasms. My 25 year old daughter has it now and has a bad case of pharyngitis and ear infections, she's much sicker than me, I feel so bad she's so miserable. Thought I was over it and over did it a couple of days and feel sick again so make sure you get lots of rest and don't rush it.

I'm 15 and I have been diagnosed with mono. My left side of my body is killing me right now. Headaches, sore throat, inflammed lymph nodes, and ear aches too. The doctor put me on an antibiotic so my lymph nodes will swell down and my spleen will stay smaller. It's also to make sure I don't get strep. I really hope I get better soon.

My husband had mono years ago and was treated with high doses of vitamin C (500 to 1,000 mg every two hours).

This is so odd. I have viral mom and I had no symptoms at all except fatigue. I had blood tests run and I was off the charts with the numbers. I had serious mono. I'm still very tired. I was treatment with an antiviral drug and I will go back for more tests in two weeks. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my numbers are down. My advice: Whenever you are off, get a good physician and have your blood tested.

My 21 year old son had mono 9 weeks ago he was very very sick with sore throat extreme fatigue and high fever along with terrible night sweats. he was sick 2 weeks before he went to dr. they said nothing to do but put him off work for 2 weeks but he still continued college every day and slept 14 hours a day. I gave him tylenol and ibuprophen alternately and Vitamin Water C-frozen so it would feel better on his throat. He had very puffy eyes as well. It took 3 weeks after dr appt for him to feel any better at all. His girlfriend 2 weeks later had mono and had it for 3 weeks. Now his sister who is 24 and did eat after him before we knew he was sick 8 weeks before has mono...she is terribly sick!!! All the same symptoms. She also now has almost swollen shut eyes! I don't know why? I also am giving her vitamin water-c frozen. She is very nauseated. I hope I have had this virus because I have taken care of them both now for 10 or 11 weeks.

My 9 year old son was diagnosed with Mono today. He has been sick since last Saturday and on Wed. He got diagnosed with Strep and put on Azithromycin which he took for 4 days and was just getting sicker, throwing up, no appetite, couldn't get off couch, sore throat full of white patches, high fever for 1 week now so we went to Urgent Care today (Sunday) and they did blood test for Mono which was positive. Now his eyes are sensitive to light. His lids are puffy, he's sooo tired and weak still terrible sore throat. I hope he gets better soon! I am sooooo worried about him.
