revolead Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Anyone here ever had mononucleosis? I'm going to the doctor again this afternoon (last week I went and was treated for Strep, but that did no good at all), but from what I've read, it sounds like I have a nasty case of mono. I hope I get better, but aside from sleeping and drinking fluids, nothing helps anything. It is miserable. I think I have my girlfriend to thank for the "kissing disease," since I do not know where else I could have gotten it from, but I guess she's worth it as long as I don't die. Thanks in advance for any ideas. Shut up and play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayViddler Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Rough gig man, sorry. I had mono in high school and it sucked. Rest and fluids were the only things that helped me. Good Luck and rest up, it will be over eventually. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=780010&content=music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Red 67 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I had it for four weeks when I was younger. Just get a lot of sleep. Big Red's Ride Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudcat Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Revo - please don't push getting back on your feet. My wife (then fiance) got mono right after we got engaged. She was out of work for at least three weeks and it was a good month and a half before she was anywhere near back to normal. Sleep as much as you can and drink lots of fluids.

revolead Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 Take your meds, and rest, rest, rest. Takes at least 2 weeks to recover. Unfortunately, since mono is a virus, there are no meds except pain relievers and fever reducers: your basically ibuprofen/acetaminophin alternation. Thanks for the kind words guys. Shut up and play.

Sauce Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Umm I heard giving random strangers black telecasters helps cure all diseases and I'd be happy to lend my services. No but seriously, feel better man. Lotsa sleep and keep your morale up and that's all I got. Then you'll never hear surf music again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantasticsound Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Hope you feel better, but don't necessarily blame this on "kissing". You can get mono from other sources and may well have. On the other hand, you may have given it to her now. It's easiest to find me on Facebook. Neil Bergman Soundclick fntstcsnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revolead Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 Neil: She had similar symptoms and was sick for a bit a couple weeks ago. Mono symptoms can take a month or more to show up, so likely, I got it from her. Shut up and play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caevan O’Shite Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 It's not necessarily a cure, but when I've come down with something like that, I get immense help from garlic, as well as the usual vitamins and lots of hot peppers and such. And I do mean whole/fresh garlic (not garlic powder or salt), and LOADS of it; even garlic pills. I'm sure that different people will have varying responses, but it seems to work tremendously well for me. I tend to get by quite nicely with nutritional supplements instead of symptom-treatments (pretty much all of the over-the-counter stuff) or antibiotics (only if I absolutely have to have 'em, and I haven't in years and years). Good for prevention, too. I'll b e interested to read what mdrs has to say!
