i had it a couple years ago. i felt like complete shit. my nodes were really swollen and covered in puss. i couldnt even swallow. i lost 7lbs. my asshole doctor wouldnt give me any painkillers other than tylenol w/ codeine and some cough syrup w/ codeine. luckily i was able to get some real painkillers from a friend. i think mono is like chicken pox in that someone usually wont get it more than once. get well soon.
