I might have mono, but definitely don't feel like it. ?

so after a week long excursion with my friends to northcarolina, i return to two more nights of partying and drinking. overall, i think i drank 9 out of 11 days in a row. this not being good for my body, fucked my immune system. monday night i had a fever and felt shitty. a stomach ache proceeded so i figured it was strep throat (as i had a sore throat). tuesday i tried to break my fever and by wednesday morning i succeeded. no more fever, my throat was only slightly sore, and i was eating normally.

however, i tested negative for strep. mono has extremely similar symptoms so i'm going friday to get my blood work done. right now, thursday, i have a slight sore throat, no fever, no headache, my stomach is absolutely killing me, but thats not really something associated with mono, and i'm not more tired than i should be (i went to sleep at 130, but my stomach ache woke me up at 7 and i've been up since then). i took another trip to the doctor to make sure nothing was ruptured or broked in my abdominal region and they said nothing. i have been having muscle and joint aches in my back and sometimes in my legs, but thats usual with binge drinking (or happens to me sometimes when i'm super hungover).

so for my stomach i'm on some over the counter pills that aren't doing well, but a warm compress is doing wonders. i'm not more tired than 5.5 hours of shitty hours would suggest. but i still have a slight sore throat, which is characteristic of mono. so my question is;

is there something else i could possibly have? or am i straight fucked for the next 2 weeks or so?

and what can i do to keep myself busy? i've been on newschoolers for like the past 4 hours already. i've watched sportscenter twice so far. i've seen so many movies i can't go to blockbuster anymore. and i've played call of duty 4 until my controller is almost too fucked up to play anymore. i'm almost considering rupturing my spleen just so i can have 4 miserable days and be done with this shit (but not really).
 
my roommate had mono this year and it didnt slow him down a bit, he went out and drank everynight no problem. apparantly you can get it and have it not fuck you, so that miht b what you have. good luck with getting your bloodtest, that shit sucks
 
i ws tested for mono this year but i ddin't have it

my symptoms are almost exactly like yours when i was sick for 3 weeks

sleeping till 3 with no blinds on my window

the doc said it was the flu mixed with allergies and i was around puppies the day before this happend so i might have got it from them to...

but i don't drink or smoke so... idk
 
i h it this winter

get it checked

it affects diff ppl differently some like me get hit hard others dont

just take it easy sleep a lot and yeah get a est it doesnt hurt to make sure
 
Shit's beat for sure. You can feel like a champ and still die from it.

It takes .5 seconds to find out if you have it. Just go to the doc and have them do the quick test for it. Legit you will know right away.

im sorry i had too

hope you feel better
 
yea i'm going tomorrow morning whenever someone gets home to drive me (my brother is still in highschool and my mom is working at the hospital. my car just fucking died somewhat and is in the shop). if i do have it, i'll probably be making rude ass comments for the next week, so heads up. one good thing though, i'll probably buy tons of shit from newschoolers because i decided that based on my income at the end of the summer, i'll have about 900$ to blow throughout the summer.

the only thing thats odd is the stomach aches/cramps. they're pissing the hell outta me. like not really hurting so much as to wince, but they piss the fuck outta me. thanks for the replies.
 
my friend had mono and it sucks but it donst usually show up for three weeks after getting it she has told me her stomach didnt hurt so it might just be the flu or something
 
yea like one of my friends just got it a week ago and her stomach was fine. my brother had it two months ago and he didn't have anything with his stomach. and this other girl i knew, no stomach problems. hopefully its like something awesome. hahah
 
yea, i was thinking why not just overload my spleen, get it removed and be in agonizing pain for only 4 days as opposed to 2 weeks of intense boredom. almost worth it. and i'd even have a badass scar probably.
 
i had mono last winter and i didn't have any stomach aches. just a little sore throat, but other than that i felt fine. it just hits people differently i guess.
