Ouch that sucks. I had mono when I was 19 and I spent an entire month sleeping it off. No joke, the first couple weeks I’d get up for an hour to eat something and maybe take shower and go back to bed. That shit kicks your ass completely. He could be out for weeks. Glad that’s not us.

I got mono from a Steak and Shake in St. Petersburg, FL near the VA Hospital there. Wife and I used to use our travel money from going to the VA to basically have a mini date. The silverware was filthy and we sent it back and then just wiped it off when the next batch came and wasn't much better. Wife had a burger as did I, but I had coffee, so I used the spoon.

MISTAAAAAAAAAKE!!!!!


Thought I had the flu and went to the doc. AS A JOKE, she tested me for mono. She was shocked when it came back positive.

Was I sick for a month? No... Two months? No...

NINE FUCKING MONTHS!!! Doc said it could be a really long time if it didn't resolve quickly and she wasn't kidding. I spent nearly a year barely able to raise my head.

Such is the difference between getting it young and getting it old...er...

I used to make jokes about mono... Now, I feel about Mono like I feel about the Patriots and Seahawks...and 9ers...and Saints... and Patriots? Did I mention the Patriots, because the need to be on this list.

Oh, I almost forgot...how could I forget? The Patriots...

Yeesh, that would be awful getting it when you’re older. I definitely couldn’t imagine getting it now at 40 compared to when I was 19. Beyond the physical toll just dealing with actual responsibilities as a grown up compared to when I was 19 and had none.

So that's why you don't like Steak 'n Shake. You'll be happy to know that most of them are shutting their doors.

Got mono when I was 13. Down for at least 4 months. Took them forever to figure out what it was.

That's true, I actually had it for about 4 to 5 months also. But for most of that I kept coming down with a cold or sinus infection because my immune system was non existent due to mono so kept getting diagnosed with that. Would spend a week nursing that illness and would feel mostly ok and go back to life. Finally after 4 or 5 months of that my body finally said enough is enough and went into hibernation.

I remember going to Doctor after Doctor being told I had this or that. And just all the time getting worse. My mother was frantic. By the time she found a Doctor that made the right call I really didnt care I just wanted to curl up and die.

I got mono from kissing this hot blonde over and over again at the renaissance fair when I was 13. If you could cross the tightrope (only about one foot of the ground) you got to kiss the blonde. Best ride I've ever had at a fair! Next day...mono!

All I can say is I'd do it again...it was worth it!
