~If anyone has ever had mono they will know what i'm going through. Luckily i went to the doctors early because of my throat, because at that time they tested me for mono which came back positive, so in my favor we caught it early. Still though it needs to run its course through my body, so in order to speed that process up (which is my mindset) i am trying to entirely dilute my system, almost like running a detox through it to cleanse. All i have been doing is sleeping 16-18 hours of the day, getting up for intervals of maybe 20 minutes to eat here and there at random times throughout the day. Mono is no joke, my bathrooms no more than 15 ft away from me, and walking from my bed to my bathroom feels like a mile, mentally i am trying to move my (ie arm or leg) and physically i cannot move it. Best way to describe it is utter and complete exhaustion. I fight through it though and continue to take random walks, down 3 flights of stairs and back up just to keep my body mobile, however this is the worse illness i have ever had, worse than dehydration, worse than the flu, and worse than pneumonia.
