Now to a case of adult mono. I've taken off a lot of time from work and am working shorter hours when I do go in. I spent 10 days horizontal at home. I've cut out all exercise, I'm basically a slug. It seems like I'm not making any real progress.
Most younger people recuperate in a month.
What you're going through isn't unusual, about 5-10 percent of people who get mono will be wiped out for six months or more. It causes a high fever, sore throat, swollen glands in your neck, and overwhelming fatigue. As I said most patients recover in six months, but you're not unusual, sadly, in rare cases, patients are exhausted for years. This is when you need a doctor that you feel close to. The key is tomatoes, but you don't throw them at each other, you don't slide in them, you eat them.
