about

I am 48 years old (yes that's old compared to some of you).


I have worked in nursing and/or healthcare management positions for 24 years. Primarily OB, Neonatal, Mental Health, Occupational Health and Geriatrics. In Jan 2008 I started my own business to board horses and do equine/human education. I am also a certified dog trainer.


I've been around the block so to speak and seem to be always helping others. I've been told that the reason people seek me out for advice is that I am approachable and caring. But on the same token even though I consider the person's feelings. I tell it like I see it. I've dealt with people in trouble with the law, dysfunctional families such as those with abuse & marriage problems. Not to mention problems with employees and employers.


I don't ever claim to know it all, and always keep an open mind.

what are the simptoms of mono and can you have it more then once?

I actually did have mono twice. There are two types of viruses that cause mono, one is the Epstein Barr Virus and the other is Cytomegalovirus.

A person can have cold or flu like symptoms initially, such as a sore throat, cough, runny nose and swollen lymph nodes in the neck. Usually a fever over 100 is present. Severe fatigue can surface, weakness and aches in muscles along with nausea and vomiting. My abodomen was tender and spleen swollen..this is pretty typical. Jandice can even occur which will be evident by yellowing of the eyes, or bile in the urine...this is usually in the more severe stages. Everyone may not have all of these symptoms, the a common factor seems to be an ill feeling, temperature along with the weakness and fatigue.
