No more "contact sports" for you until that spleen goes back to normal size. Look at it this way, you'll never get it again, and for those who have never had it, by the time you're 25, over 95% of people already have the antibody in their blood. This means that you may have had a minor infection that you fought off, and never knew it was mono.

Yeah, I know....and my 18th birthday is in 3 Saturday's and I probably won't be able to drink on it. :thumbsdow :guns:

Mononucleosis is technically called infectious mononucleosis or glandular fever, but is generally referred to as "mono" for short. It occurs primarily between the ages of 10 and 35 years old. When younger children are infected, it causes little or no illness. Such exposure does, however, create an immunity to the disease. Nearly 90% of Americans have antibodies for mononucleosis by age 40. Mono has an incubation period of 30 to 40 days and the symptoms usually last 7 to 14 days but can last for several weeks. The virus can stay alive within the body for several months. The name mononucleosis comes from the fact that the disease distorts the white blood cells, causing them to only have one nucleus. Only a blood test called the mononucleosis spot test can determine if someone has the disease.

The following symptoms can be present with mono, but most likely not all will be. Sore throat, usually red Enlarged lymph nodes in all parts of the body Fever Nausea Loss of appetite Extreme fatigue Enlarged spleen (2/3 of mono patients) Ulceration of the pharynx (sometimes) Swelling of the upper eyelid Trouble breathing Rapid heart beat Red rash on the body (about 15% of mono patients) Oversensitivity to light.

To add to Dope Dealer's post:

Its an infection caused by the Ebstein-Barr virus, and it is typically transmitted in saliva. It as commonly known as the "kissing disease", but it is usually spread by other means, usually by sharing drinks, or similar activities.

Its usually self limiting, in that it will go away on its own, and does not need any therapy. There is a typical rash when patients with Mono are given penicillin, because mono can also look like strep throat.

One of the biggest concerns with it is in having the enlarged spleen. This can predispose patients who are infected to splenic rupture, and bleeding into their abdomen. As a result, contact sports are usually discouraged for several months. Sometimes, the spleen can rupture spontaneously. In either case, you will have abdominal pain, and even pain in either shoulder (usually on the left) because blood can irritate your diaphragm. As your diaphragm has no pain nerve endings, the brain interprets the pain as coming from the nerve that supplies it, in this case it is in the same distribution as your shoulder.

There you go, all you wanted to know about Mononucleosis.

go to the doctor, they have to do blood tests to see if you actually have it. it could just be strep throat or just a cold you have. I had to go for tests last week, but I don't have mono :) yeahhhh!!

xrayvsn you can get it more than once, it's not like chicken pox, but chances of getting it twice are little unless you have a weak immune system.

[sputnik]

yeah... sore throat (especially if you have a fever) is more likely to be strep throat than mono... strep throat can be easily taken care of with antibiodics within a few days.

mono makes you HELLA tired... i knew someone who had it when i was in college and he was in bed sleeping for 14-16 hrs per day
