Mono sucks
-
Tuesday of this week my spring semester started, Thursday of this week I finally went to the doctor and was diagnosed with mono (also known as the kissing disease, its a virus that spreads through saliva) X| I mean its not all bad, I mean I get a week off work (the doctor wanted two but I haggled her down to one) and I'm actually supposed to eat things like ice cream etc. But missing a week of work unpaid sucks, constantly being tired sucks, i had to drop my easiest class this semester (swimming) because I could rupture my spleen (evidently bad), i can't lift anything ten pounds and over and to top everything off its snowing I have a weekend off and I can't go snowmobiling or four wheeling. Oh and did I mention its my 21st birthday tuesday? So I'd appreciated it if you guys/girls kept the lounge nice and interesting as I will have plenty of free time and will need some entertainment. Meanwhile I'm off to bed until class time. Matt Newman

I thought you were talking about Mono[^]. It's too bad that you're not -- I've had mono and it wasn't fun. I got it right after high school graduation, so I spent the first part of that summer laid up around the house. :^) I remember having a very bad fever. We were in the process of moving (well, my family was; I was just sleeping on the floor), so I had to drive my truck over to the new place. It was 110F outside, but I was so cold that I rolled up my windows and cranked up the heater full blast. That, and I had a killer sore throat, but once the doctor gave me some prednisone, I felt much better. Anyway, happy birthday, get some rest, and I hope you get better real soon. :rose:

Heheh thought he was talking about the other Mono too. :-) I wonder if Miguel ever gets tired of the kissing jokes. ;P

Darn, and I thought this was a programming post! Unsolicited medical suggestion, based on what someone I used to know (he was a behavioral optomitrist) did as per his doctor's suggestion--mega doses of Vitamin C. In fact, he got injections of the stuff. :omg: Marc MyXaml Advanced Unit Testing YAPO

And here I was thinking you were talking about .NET on Linux. I got mono (we call it glandular fever here) when I was 21 too, right in the middle of exams. Annoying as hell. Get better soon. cheers, Chris Maunder

Is mono the official name? The name "kissing disease" rings a painful bell in my mind. Stuck my tongue into the wrong woman, and was a zombie for most of the summer. Constantly tired and no apetite whatsoever. If it's what I had, then I suggest you take your doctor's advice. And don't drink alcohol until you're well again. :) -- Komm tu mir langsam weh, leg mir die Ketten an und zieh die Knoten fest, damit ich lachen kann I blog too now[^]

Kissing disease is a name you don't neccesarily want to throw around in all occasions. Jörgen Sigvardsson wrote: And don't drink alcohol until you're well again. Well typically I can't stand the taste of alcohol and I despise the taste of beer. If I do drink anything it would be a long island ice tea on the weak side. I also have never had enough to get a "buzz" or drunk. Matt Newman

It wasn't too bad, apart from the itching (which was maddening!). At least it wasn't shingles though.

I got mono my senior year of high school. The one mistake I made back then was whenever i laid down for awhile i would start to feel "normal" again so I kept getting up and try to do normal stuff. It was the wrong plan. The best advice is keep resting and let it run it's course. Robert S.
