Mono Symtpoms
Posted , 2 users are following.
Looking for support!
I started with a horrible fever back in late September 2021...lasted for two weeks along with headache and feeling super tired. Finally was able to get blood work and it showed I had high liver enzymes. I am a mom (39) with two young kids, so they (nurse in dr office) was worried I wouldn't have time to come back, so they sent me to the emergency room. Emergency room dr, did CT Scan and more blood work and came back and told me I had mono. They had me stay the night and also let me know fatty liver - Thanks to the ultrasound. I immediately changed my diet since October - no alcohol, no saturated fats, more vegetables good fiber and proteins, green tea etc. Since the mono diagnosis, I have MAJOR anxiety, talking to a counselor, trying to stay calm, was put on anti anxiety medicine, but still experience these mono symptoms and its been almost 5 months:
joint pain
back pain
random pains around the ribs
burning/tingling/electric type pain in arms, legs, fingers and toes - really sometimes everywhere it feels like.
headache (in back left of head lower side near neck)
diarrhea
body aches
random pains at random times
blurred vision - only for a couple of days
jaw/sometimes feels like my teeth hurt
dry mouth - had a few months ago
horrible sleeping at night
random jolts through my legs sometimes.
I NEVER had sore throat or sniffles. Starting to take more vitamins and hope this passes soon. Jumped on this forum to get advice and motivation. I am very scared and every day I think I am dying.
Send advice!

What and awful time you're going through! I am on month 8 and still feel most of the symptoms you've listed and maybe even more. I lose my motivation and hope a lot of the times but then Ive talked to some very encouraging people on here ... Craig for example. Find him in the forums and message him. His words and encouragement are everything! I pray this hard time for you will pass but remember we're in this together even though this battle is literally hell on earth. There is hope for full recovery so focus on that even though its hard. I feel like a hypocrite saying that because some days i too feel like it never will get better but i need to change that mindset and not let the devil win. Prayers for you!
