I've been ill with this for just over a month and I am feeling so poorly and really depressed with it. My throat is red, painful and I have ulcers everywhere. So tired totally drained right now. I feel sick a lot. Struggle to sleep. Keep getting fever and very dizzy and my stomach is swollen all the time and my digestion is all over the place. Not feeling too well at the moment and scared I'll have to go to hospital with this. Feel lumps in my stomach, low left side and high right side and my vision is blurry for some reason.

I don't know how much more of this I can stand. It's a total nightmare and I don't feel any better yet. Just want to feel well again.

    Hi Luna,

    Mono is really rough and lasts for awhile, rest and time will help you feel better. See your doctors for advice on how to manage your symptoms, they gave a family member a round of steroid treatment which seemed to help, they didn't do that when I had it so maybe there are new protocols.
