Mono Relapse
I was diagnosed with mono a little more than a month ago. It lasted about 4 weeks and then I felt completely fine, even though I know i still had it. I stayed pretty unactive because I know you're supposed to stay rested as long as possible. Recently, I've been running and going to pom pom practice at school. There is also a guy I'm with who said he did have it a long while ago... but i didn't think it'd matter to kiss him since we've both already had it. Now I'm going through a mono relapse. What is most likely the cause?

The most likely cause is tiredness, or you may have caught a virus of another kind from somewhere so your immune system is working at getting rid of that and not fighting mono. Don't worry about it though, relapses are MUCH shorter usually than the first episode. Hope you get better soon, and stay resting for at least a week after it goes. Mono is a bitch, i had it for 6 months!!

Once you have infectious mononucleosis,
you don't get it again. However, if someone
resumes his normal activities too soon after
having had a case of mono, he can have a
relapse of symptoms until he has a chance to
fully recover. Symptoms of mono can last up
to 6 months or so. So, I think it is possible
that you just returned to being active to
soon.
