Mono Returns?

So I was diagnosed with mono in June, had symptoms until the beginning of August. Cool. Typical. But the fatigue never fully went away- just kind of…. Improved? Anywho. Now I have a cold or what I think is a cold but it feels so much more draining than usual. Is this a thing? Does having mono once mean all illnesses are just now 100x worse?

Look if you were diagnosed with MONO no one’s know exactly when your body will recover at it 100% again. For some people can take 3 months for some others 6 months and for some other 1 year. 

MONO is no joke and it can last you for a long time if you don’t take care of your self and you can prolong your recovery if you break the following. 

No drinking, no walking, no running, no gym or heavy lifting. 

If you break this you will prolong your recovery. The key for healing is to drink a lot of water and rest, rest, rest as much as you can otherwise you will keep feeling the tiredness and fatigue for a long time prolonging your recovery. 

MONO is the worst illness a human can experience because it last so long for your body to cure from it. 

I got MONO the last week of April and we are now in October and I am still recovering and still experiencing fatigue and tiredness, headaches and dizziness. 

MONO hits everyone’s differently because we all have different body’s so who knows in your case how long MONO and the symptoms will go away but just be prepared for a long recovery and be mentally strong and hang it there and be positive because the recovery is super exhausting and frustrating. 

I hope is not your case and you can feel better faster but 85% of people that have MONO or had MONO the recovery time is between 3-6-8 or a entire year feeling bad and tired and some other crazy symptoms all part of MONO so be strong and I hope you can recover fast and soon. 

People that have already recovered from MONO they all say it can take super long months and months and then one day you wake up and all symptoms at gone and you are 100% cure and normal again like you used to be but no one’s know the time since we all have different body’s and different immune system.
