I got mono at the start of December 2021 when I began feeling very tired and all I wanted to do was sleep. It peaked at the end of December to early January. Now in early-mid April, I feel well physically. I was able to play intense football for a few hours the past two weeks, and felt good after. Mentally is the biggest issue. I developed a depression when I first had this and i has mostly passed, but I still have this brain fog that is lingering. Since late February, I have had 3 week long periods where the brain fog goes, and I feel completely normal. Then after 5-7 days of feeling good, it comes back. It just bugs me so much because my thoughts arent straight; its not a bad case of brain fog, but I just feel cloudy. I'm wondering if anyone else has had these ups and downs with this and if it eventually goes away?
