Hi

I'm currently in my 12th week of mono & still have a swollen lymph node in my neck. It's painless but considering I feel a lot better than I did, I'd have thought this would have gone by now. Can anyone offer any advice on this?

Also, does anyone have any advice on how to increase energy levels? I walked up 2 flights of stairs today & felt breathless & weak. I really dont want to bother my doctor again as i think she thinks i'm a hypochondriac!

Finally, I am convinced this virus thrives from stress, has anyone else noticed this? I am tempted to go on mild anti anxiety pills as I can't sleep properly & it's affecting my appetite too. Convinced I'd prob feel better overall if I could control my anxiety better.

Sending positive thoughts to people going through this horrendous virus!

Gill xx
