hi!
Okay, mono...
" Signs of mono include fever, sore throat, headaches, white patches on the back of your throat, swollen glands in your neck, feeling tired and not feeling hungry."
If you think you have it...
Does mono have any complications?
Sometimes. The main serious concern with mono is that the spleen will enlarge and even rupture (tear open). The spleen is like a large gland. It's located in the upper part of your abdomen on the left side. It has functions that relate to your blood.
Although a ruptured spleen is rare in people with mono, it's wise to be aware of the signs and call your doctor right away if you notice any of them. Signs of a ruptured spleen include pain in the left upper part of your abdomen (under the left chest), feeling lightheaded, feeling like your heart is beating fast and hard, bleeding more easily than usual and having trouble breathing.
Can mono be cured?
No. But mono will go away on its own. Symptoms usually last about 4 weeks.
How is mono treated?
The main point of treatment is to relieve your symptoms. The following list includes tips on treatment.
Rest.
Drink plenty of fluids.
If you have a sore throat, gargle with salt water, or suck on throat lozenges, hard candy or flavored frozen desserts (such as Popsicles).
You may want to take acetaminophen (one brand name: Tylenol) or ibuprofen (some brand names: Advil, Motrin, Nuprin) to relieve pain and fever. Do not give aspirin to children. Aspirin should be avoided because it has been associated with a disease called Reye's syndrome in children. Reye's syndrome is a serious illness that can lead to death.
Do I need an antibiotic?
Antibiotics like penicillin are of no help in mono. Mono is caused by a virus, and antibiotics don't work against viruses. If you have a bacterial infection in addition to having mono, your doctor may give you an antibiotic.

Alright then I don't have mono.. I thought that one of the symptoms was being unusually tired ( which i have been for the past couple days) but its probably stress, and after this relaxing weekend where i was able to sleeep for 16+ hours everyday i feel a lil better
:toothless

What did VB say? If it was in our thread, I may have missed it.
I called home today. So now, I'm teary eyed and homesick. I am so far away. I feel...sometimes I feel very young, too young to be so far from home. And in case anyone wonders, yes, I did get carded on Friday and the guy did the math (once I was carded in NY and I showed my id and the guy didn't do the math) so...
I decided I will "steal" my sister's ids and she can get new ones. At least she's 18. It seems like you have to be 21 here to really do what you want. Mebot, I'm glad you don't have mono. And I'm on page 26 too. Page 69 definitely sounds more...enticing? hehe |

It was in the chillout whore thread hehe.
69 is a much more intersting page number, I will agree. But 26 is good too cause it is my birthday. :D
Does your sister live in the states too?
I will post a lyric for no apparent reason:
Wow
Moving on the floor now babe you're a bird of paradise
Cherry ice cream smile I suppose it's very nice
With a step to your left and a flick to the right
You catch that mirror way out west
You know you're something special and you look like you're the best
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio Rio dance across the Rio Grande
I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on t.v.
Two, of a billion stars it means so much to me
Like a birthday or a pretty view
But then I'm sure that you know it's just for you
Hey now (wow) look at that did he nearly run you down
At the end of the drive the lawmen arrive you make me feel
Alive, alive, alive
I'll take my chance 'cause luck is on my side
I tell you something I know what you're thinking
I tell you something I know what you're thinking
Her name is Rio, she don't need to understand
I might find her if I'm looking like I can
Oh Rio Rio hear them shout across the land
From mountains in the north down to the Rio Grande

I am smiling a "cherry ice cream smile." Doesn't it seem delicious?
It is your birthday? Today? On your profile it says January. I think you are 25. Until January. Oooooooooooooh. Your birthday is on the 26 day. Ugh. I'm slow. Okay so do you realize you will be 26 on the 26th only once in your life and it will be on the next birthday?!!!
:D
My sister Anja is in New Jersey. She is one year older than I. She is at Princeton.

Oh I am so thrilled about my birthday being the same. Ok maybe not. Would be much better if I lived in Australia, then my birthday would be a day off every year (Jan 26 is Australia Day).
Princeton and Stanford eh? You must be some of them smart girls :p
I was going to apply to Stanford back in the day but I did not feel like writing the damn essays...I am lazy like that :D
I need to go to bed...got to drive to work in the morning, sigh.
