I am extremely worried my Mono was a misdiagnosis, should I go back to my doctor?

Posted , 11 users are following.

I was diagnosed with Mono about 3 months ago. It started with a headache, lowgrade fever, and overall not feeling well. I have gotten tons of rest, stayed hydrated and healthy, and I am still feeling the same as I did on day 1. From all that I read, some people have symptoms that last a long time with Mono, but I still have all the symptoms, most notable the fever... every day, for usually the entire day. I try to stay off google but it's hard not to when my own doctor doesn't know why I have had this for so long. My lymph nodes were never and aren't swollen, but I can't help but worry that it's something worse. My WBC and RBC counts are both within normal range.

Has anyone else experienced a low grade fever with Mono this long? Also, has anyone experienced all over itching with mono? I've been getting itchy all over my body for about 4 days now.

Thanks .

    my low grade fever lasted 3-4 months off and on. I had itching near the end of my reactivation also. My reactivation lasts 12-14 months and i had several swollen nodes.
