Mono Help


Question Posted Monday March 31 2008, 10:55 am

I just found out I got diagnosed with mono today. It was almost obvious I had it but I'm just wondering if you guys have any advice for me. See I've taken more than 15 advil in 24 hours and I know that is really dangerous but it's the only thing that stops the pain for a little while. My throat hurts so much I rather be dead then face the pain. Is there any remedies I could use to help my throat feel better ? I already gargled with the salt water and used cough drops. It seems the advil is the only thing really helping. Is there maybe any stronger painkiller out there so I don't need to take one every 4 hours?

Also does anyone have any experiences with this? I want to know what to expect and just ways to make myself feel a little better.

Thanks<3

With mono they cant prescribe anything for you just hey you have mono get better soon type of thing.

I've had mono twice. Yes, you can.

1. It will ALWAYS be in your body but after you heal it becomes nonactive.

2. Your throat will stop hurting before you stop getting tired.

3. When you start feeling like you can do more, take it easy and do a little more each time because I know, you feel great one day and do ALOT and then you relaspe and want to die.

4. Take frequent naps in small times so you arent straining yourself to stay up.

I slept 19 hours a day for the first two weeks, then slowly descreased the amount of time.

well did you go the doctor? and they didnt prescribe you anything??? when i had this my throat was killing me and i could barely eat or swallow cuz the pain was so bad... the doctor gave me vicodin (which helps ALOT) and i also go this liquidy stuff that like i gargle for a little and it numbs your throat... but yeah i dont know about just over the counter stuff you could get... if you already went to the doctor then maybe you should ask him if he can give you anything for the pain? oh and make sure to rest and sleep alot...thats the best way to get over it! dont do anything that requires like a lot of energy
