Mono need help
Posted , 34 users are following.
Hi so In June I woke up one morning feeling very weak. I thought I needed to eat something but when I ate breakfast I still felt weird. I ended up having my first panic attack. My entire summer was filled with ER visits for weakness, low energy, fatigue, dizziness, off balance feeling, and generally feeling unwell. It turns out I have mono (diagnosed a week ago). I don't know what to do. Just looking for others' stories and well and recovery process. It's my 3rd month and I just feel so helpless. ?? Thanks guys ! Blessing to all

Hello everyone. I'm not sure if you all still follow this discussion but I wanted to come back for a little update. I am now in my 18th month of EBV (but I usually just refer to it as cfs.) I also had a birthday and graduated high school. So I am 18 now, and I will be attending my spring semester of college (freshman year.) Unfortunately I still suffer from fatigue, and brain fog. My dizziness has let up. Even though my fatigue is still present and I have not so good days still, I'd say on most days my fatigue and brain fog are 50-65% better than they were a year ago. Lately I've been in a down mood because I wish my progress was a little bit faster and more linear. But yes this is where I am as of today. Not great, not terrible. Just slowly improving, waiting it out a little longer than anticipated. ...I would love to hear how all of you are doing these days!?!
