Mono
Posted , 7 users are following.
I am so fed up with this. i have lost 12 pounds in a month. and its not slacking up at this moment. I do not feel tired i feel weak. my head hurts. My body randomly hurts. It is started to affect my girlfriend. She just sat there and cried last night as i tried to sleep and burst into tears this morning. My muscles seem to be going away. I am trying to eat three times a day but i feel worse after i eat. I am getting dizzy easily. I shake i guess from
being weak. I freeze in my hands and feet. I mean honestly a doctor can not just tell someone you have mono there is nothing i can for you and leave someone to sit in their house and feel like this. My body is not made for this sitting inside and doing nothing. I just need something that makes me fee somewhat better to function. Maybe gain a pound back or be able to go walking or something. I have no idea what to do at this point but i know if i keep going downhill i will be in the hospital.

If i could just get the dizziness and unsteadiness to go away that'd be helpful.

Nicole / Lori,
Unless you've been through this it's noone can really appreciate how hard and painful a journey it is to go through mono. There were lots of periods of crying when I was going through it too and it's so hard just to cope with something going on for so long. I really do empathise and just want to let you know I'm still thinking about you both and keeping you in my prayers.
Please hang in there guys, you ARE going to get through this awful time and recovery and get back to good health. Even though it's been a while, remember this can be normal with mono and it doesn't mean that are not going to get fully better - so hang in there and remember there is real hope today - I believe that for you Nicole and Lori that a breakthrough is much closer than you realise.

Thanks also Lori,
God knows the suffering you have been going through lately, I just wish it was easier to understand why we go through such tough and painful times in life, but you know Lori God still has a great plan ahead for you and I believe that He wants and needs you well for that - so remember He is fighting this battle for and with you and that you will get the victory in the end.
It's so hard to get your head around where you are in the midst of real trials, I can empathise with that too, but just try to keep things simple and not dwell too much on everything and cope with the here and now. I have been trying a mindfulness group which has been helping with trying to stay in the present moment, which can help calm and steady you in good and bad times. It could be worth looking to see if there is a group that does it locally Lori because I kind of scoffed at things like that before but when actually with a nice group of people practising it in a friendly environment I have found a positive thing in the last few weeks. Trying to do it in a Christian way and ethos also.

Today i feel very good no headache so far i have an appetite. My body doesnt seem to hurt and my stomach stopped hurting when i went to the bathroom. I am not sure if it has been the monolaurin and olive leaf or my body is getting a hold on this virus but boy do i feel better. I am not really sure where to go from here i want to do some exercise or something to build up some stamina but am not really sure where to go. I could practice up on my golf but dont really think that is much exercise and am not sure aboit the jerking and turning motion of a swing. Anyone got any ideas. The doctor called and said my heart was fine an healthy so i am good to do as i please.
