Just Got Mono

Well I thought I just had a cold but turns out I have mono. The brochure they gave me says "The time from infection to appearance of symptoms for mono ranges from 4 to 6 weeks." The only person I have hooked up with recently was over Superbowl weekend. That was about 6 weeks ago. I don't know if she had mono but would it be safe to say that I got it from her? Could I have gotten it some other way? Also, on St. Patrick's I played beer pong with a bunch of my friends. I had no idea I had mono at the time so people were drinking from the same cups I had been drinking from. Is it possible for people to catch mono from me from the cups? Or is there not enough direct contact?
 
People usually get mono from sharing drinks/cups thats why you never share watter bottles while your on a team so theres a good chance that it came from that..sorry to hear you have it at least ski season is almost over so hopefully your not missing anything to great at the mountains
 
you could have def got it from the girl 6 weeks ago, the beer pong is a little less likely, but still possible nevertheless.

and if you feel like shit and find that nothing really helps, smoke some weeed. it was literally the only thing that made me feel like i was living and alive. it gave me back my appetite too.
 
i'm just really worried that the other people playing beer pong who drank from the same cup as me are going to get mono 4 weeks from now. now if i wanted to just hang out with my friends, are they at a high risk of catching it even if no one drinks from the same drink as me or whatever?
 
I was in the same situation. The girl I was hooking up with had never had mono. No one ended up getting it and I still never figured out how I got it.
 
i had mono. i know how bad it sucks. when i first got it i slept for 2 days. i woke up for like 20 minutes each day to eat. ugh it sucks
 
i had it about a month ago. It lasted like 6 weeks for me so get ready to feel like shit for awhile. I didn't find out i had until 2 weeks after i got sick, and during those 2 weeks my mom thought i was faking and kept telling me to get off my ass and go to school, so one day i did and fell asleep in every class so i was sent home after being questioned about what drugs i had abused (i was so out of it from being so tired). But for real just stay home smoke some dank and sleep all day and get better man
 
when do u think it's going to really start to kick in? i have had cold like symptoms for about a week now and my throat mainly just hurts now....is it going to hit me hard one day soon?
 
I got mono 2 years ago it was the worst thing ever, I was so tired I could barely get up to take a piss or anything. I ended up telling the girl I was going to kill her for getting me sick like this....I hooked up with her 2 weeks later
 
i think i might have mono.. it suckkss but i think i got it from sharing a drink with my friend who had it so your friends might get it but its different for everyone
 
I got mono when I was at camp one year. I had to get sent home, which was really awful.

But if you want some good news, I was only really sick for about 3 weeks max. Then the liver swelling died down and my throat which was so ridiculously swollen you could actually tell just by looking at me eased up and I was back at camp for the final session. Honestly though, I don't remember those two weeks whatsoever. I think I might have slept through the whole time. Just post up on your bed whimper a bit and take advantage of all the pampering you'll get.

Mono hits people all different kinds of ways, I think Roger Federer played a bunch of matches while he had mono this past year so you could be just fine.
 
you can get mono at any time it usually appears when your immune system is weak. it sucks but just sleep it off and take it easy.
 
I started feeling sick on new years day this year, right after i had played beerpong with all my friends and shitthe night before. I was supposed to get surgery for my knee the next week so i went in for blood work and they told me i was gunna start feeling even worse because i had mono and they couldnt operate. Mine only lasted like 2-3 weeks so it wasnt horrible. I was worried about getting my friends sick the whole time too, no one did though so you should be good. Oh and i chilled with them, just if i had to sneeze or somethign made sure i covered it up really good and wouldnt share anything with anyone. You dont have to make your self an exile just because your sick
 
I started experiencing symptoms like 4 weeks ago and just got my blood work back that says my liver calmed down. It was only bad the first week if even, I had the worst strep throat ever but after that I was pretty much fine. It affects people different ways, if you aren't bad yet, you probably will be fine. Also it's less contagious than the common cold, so just don't share glasses or kiss anyone and you'll be fine.
