oh please no - Mono? Have any of you all had Mono in the past? I went to the doctor today because my glands in my neck have been extreamly swollen, my throat is killing me, my neck hurts so bad and I wake up with a neck ache every morning. She said it was not strep because she tested for strep and its too early i guess to see if it is Mono. I talked to my ex (whom i have been hanging out with for the past week) and asked him if he or sarah (his ex girlfriend) ever had Mono. He said that she had Mono a month ago but he never experianced symptoms of the disease. So my question is - is it possible for someone to have mono kiss another person and for that second person not to have any symptoms and then for that person to give it to a third person? |
i've never heard of it I wanna see what other people say about this wow |
you never heard of mono? "the kissing disease" its more commonly called. It spreads through saliva and the symptoms of mono can last from 3 weeks to 6 months. But when they last for six months or more its called "chronic mono". And I know that if one has mono it may still be present in their saliva for up to 18 months and other people can come in contact with it by kissing, eating off eachothers silverware, sneezing, coughing anything that has to deal with saliva contact. Thats all i know about it. |
i had mono in college from sharing a drink with someone who had mono (tho at the time didn't know it). i was tired all the time, had a headache, ever, and sore throat. it sucked big time. My friend actually had to go to the hospital because his throat was so swollen from it. |
yeah see the only symptom im not having is the tiredness. On Monday night when i first started feeling really really sick i slept from 2:00pm - 4:00pm and then I woke up and went back to sleep from 7:00pm - almost 9:00am. And tuesday night i went to bed at 8:30pm and woke up at 8:30am. But its pretty normal for me to sleep at least 9 hours but not 13 or 12. |
there is an easy mono test that your doc can do right in the office. I'm surprised he didn't do it when you were there. I came home from school and went to my regular doctor (because the school health center told me i had allergies :rolleyes:). I told my regular doctor that i had mono and at first he didn't believe me either, but i told him to take blood and test it and you will see. So he did, and i was right. :D he gave me some ABs and sent me home to sleep. |
yeah she told me that its too early to tell if i have mono and to come back on friday if i am not better by then. The only thing is that if i do have mono i have to go to school tomorrow and friday and i dont want to be giving the other people ther mono. Plus i have to work tomorrow and friday as well and im a waitress. And from what ive heard mono is very contagious. |

I had Mono in the 5th grade..........which was YEARS & YEARS & YEARS AGO. I was one sick girl but didn't get it from kissing anyone.LOL I hope you feel better real soon!! :getwellso............ but if I remember right it took a good while to get over it. |
I've never had it, but during one really bad sore throat/flu thing they did think that I had it. It doesn't sound fun! |
