new mono ?

[Barbara2]

I was sick with mono back in 1967 (16 yrs old). I had a couple years of sore throats, white tonsils, fatigue, loss of appetite, swollen glands, low-grade fevers, (I think). When they finally tested me for mono, I was so sick, they put me in the hospital for about 3 weeks or so.

Recovery took a long time. Spent 3 months after returning home from the hospital, just laying around; resting. The doc said the only cure was rest, so that's what I did. Slowly I began to regain strength and energy.

I was told the mono could perhaps have a lifetime affect on me. Not sure if it did.......

I don't know if some of you are aware of the possible link between the virus that causes mono and breast cancer, so I'm posting the link here as well as on the "Articles" board...
