hi nicole,
throughout my experience my symptoms have been mainly weakness, insomnia, anxiety, brain fog, heart palpitations, unstable and dizzy feelings and breathlessness. I didnt experience any aches or pains but i am young and i know of many other people who have experienced them. i hope this eases your mind a bit. we all go through strange symptoms and the ones you listed i have seen countless times on this forum before. all you can really do is wait it out, just rest rest and more rest.
take care and i hope you feel better fast!

Hi Nicole,
Just want to reassure you Nicole, it can be common for mono to go into second year and then make a full and complete recovery - have read so many stories of lots of people on the forum that it wasn't until some months into that second year they really started to feel better. And for me it was during the second year things started to really improve and get stronger and better. So don't lose hope and still believing you will get better from this - trusting God with that and hoping, praying and believing in a breakthrough for you Nicole. Thinking of you and hoping that your throat is feeling much better soon, remember to get rest and even the old ones like gargling salt water can be good - taking immune boosting herbs like siberian ginseng and echinacea can help as can turmeric and flaxseed oil for inflammation.
I had a number of the symptoms you mention there Nicole when going through mono, especially the joint pain, extreme fatigue, and all sorts of aches and pains in ribs, limbs, different areas, low grade fever. It can take time for sure Nicole but believing this won't last forever - you've had such a terrible year I know I just hope and pray for better times ahead - believing that God is there for you, knows what you're going through and remember He is the great healer Nicole, knows more than all the doctors and wants you well again. Sometimes things take time and we are push to our limits before things improve, hang in there thinking about you.

You're welcome Nicole, no absolutely you're not alone and even though it's only a small support I know having an online forum to visit just to know there are others out there who have went through similar things and recovered (thanks to God) is something to keep in mind. I'm still believing you are going to make a full recovery Nicole, I really do.
Just remember to take things one day at a time, it's the only way with this thing and don't look too far ahead or behind either, just cope with the here and now and remember that healthier times will be ahead and this won't last forever.

Pressure type headache, joint pain, neck pain, back pain, nerve pain, muscle pain, bone pain, burning sensations on the skin, hair loss, beaus lines in fingernails, low grade fevers, tremors in jaw and hand, numbness, tingling and shooting pain in a facial nerve, nausea and loss of appetite, gastroinstestinal problems, buzzing sensation in arms and legs, metallic taste in mouth, white tongue, severe brain fog, insomnia, anxiety, elevated liver enzymes, dizziness, heart palpitations and irregular heartbeats, fatigue, weakness in limbs, blurry vision, light flashes in peripheral vision, dry eyes and eye floaters, ringing in ears and sound sensitivity, lowered immune system (shingles, cold sores, sinusitis, flu, tonsillitis etc. etc..), sudden fine lines/wrinkles all over face (I am 28, they apppeared literally over night). I am probably forgetting some symptoms, there have been ridiculously many. Good news is I am better now!
It was a total of 1 year of feeling absolutely horrible but my symptoms actually crept up on me during the year before, so I'd say a total of 18 - 24 months. Now that I am better, even the mysterious wrinkling of the skin is going way.. I don't get how it's possible, but I am just so thankful. It certainly didn't feel like it a few months ago but the body really is an amazing machine, perfectly designed to be functioning well and restore itself to health.

So pleased to hear that you are doing well Isabelle, definitely some real encouragement for others there - you are so right despite feeling that this thing will never go away and your body can never be as strong and resilient again, the body has amazing powers of recovery thanks to God! And things do get better from this thing.
Sending best wishes to you and hoping for continued good health for you!
