about

Hello! I am studying esthetics at an Aveda Institute after spending years in retail. I am proof that nothing turns out how you think it will, and that's a good thing. When you think you've got it figured out, you don't. Life would be boring otherwise, right?
Makeup, skincare, and psychology are my passions and I'm also happy to give advice on relationships, particularly for teenagers (so many things I wish I could have told myself a decade ago!) I'm happy to help fellow abuse survivors as well.
I'm a diehard SF Giants fan and also enjoy watching the Sharks and Niners. Addicted to music, especially The Gaslight Anthem. Oh, and my name is Krista. :)

I want to know if I have mono. My glands are swollen with many white patches, I took a strep test and it came back negative but I do not feel to tired but I do have a stuffed up nose

Only a doctor can tell you if you have mono by giving you a blood test. But you're not tired, I'm willing to bet that you don't have mono. When I had it, my main symptom was being absolutely exhausted- even taking a shower felt like having to run several miles. I also had throat and ear problems and no appetite, which is pretty common, but everyone's different.

(Rating: 5) Thank you! It wasn't mono, and it went away. Yay! :)
