Ups and Downs
Posted , 1 user is following.
Hi, I want to start off by saying I am a 20 year old male who was in great physical shape. I started to get some symptoms of mono back in the middle of December 2021. I was tired, sore and shaky. After a week or two I started to feel anxious and a little depressed and I didnt know why. I thought it was just due to the stress of not liking the school im currently at. After a blood test on January 19th, I found out I had mono. My symptoms have for the most part faded, but there are still times I dont feel like myself. I was just wondering if it is normal to have ups and downs when getting over mono? For example the last 5 days for me were some of the best ive had in a while. I felt great, I was listening to my favorite music and hanging out with my buddies like I always have. Then about 2 days ago I started to get tired and anxious again. Every time my symptoms come back they are always less than what they used to be. For some reason it still tends to scare me every time they come back. Its just makes me nervous how it sort of waxes and wanes. One other thing is how do I know when i can go back to the gym? I feel good to sometimes but I dont want to push it while im still recovering.

I know my case isnt as severe as many that I see on here. I just scares me a lot when I feel fully back to myself and think im all good for 5 days, and then out of no where I feel the anxiety and some symptoms come back. Id like to add that Ive never had anxiety or just bleh feelings ever. I dont really know what to say. I felt like i was on top of the world a few days ago (minor fatigue still but completely normal for only having mono for two months). I know the anxiety is from mono and it will go away, but I just feel scared now and telling myself that it will pass with time doesnt seem to help that much. I just feel scared and want this to end. I need clarification.
