OK I think I have mono. 2 weeks ago I got really sick. These were my symptoms:
-reallyyy bad sore throat, like the worst ever :[
-head ache
-chills
-nausea
-muscle and joint pains
-high fever that ranged from 101-104 degrees
-sometimes I'd get really hot and sometimes really cold
-swollen lymph node on my neck, just on the right side though
-swollen right tonsil
I went to the doctor, but at the time, I didn't know what was wrong, and he just gave me some antibiotics. He said he thought it was a throat infection. He did ask me if I had muscle pains, but I said I didn't because I didn't think it was important. I feel better now, but a lot of the time I'm tired. It's not every day, but it's most of the time. I even took a nap yesterday, and that's like, really unusual for me, because I NEVER take naps, because I don't need to, since I'm usually never tired during the day.
So do you think I have mono?? And I read somewhere that there are 3 stages to mono. What are they? And I'm going to the doctor July 2 for a follow-up visit, should I say something? And what should I say?
Thank you if you can help. :]

For now I'd tell you to just rest. If you are going out and doing lots of things that get you excited and moving around you could make yourself much worse. Also, until you know for sure you shouldn't do anything that could spread it things like this include:
- kissing
- sharing a drink with someone
- sharing forks, knives, spoons and other eating utensils
- sharing makeup (mostly things that go near your mouth)
Basically makre sure your saliva doesn't come in contact with another persons saliva. When you go to the doctor tell him that you have been having muscles pain and you are unusually tired. Tell him/her that you are concerned that you might have mono, they can tell you whether you do or not. Hope I helped

I had mono and it sucked because I had to miss school for 1 month and I got LOTS of homework.
if you feel REALLY tired, then thats a really big sign that you have mono.
there's 3 websites that help you explain more details.
I'll just tell you 1 thing- REST!!!!!!! you MUST rest to regain your strength back. If you move around too much, you might rupture your spleen, which can be fatal.
