So I have mono. Oh joy. I also have epically swollen tonsils (I can barely speak out loud!) that are covered in the most distinct and horrific white patches ever. My physician was SHOCKED by them. His eyes nearly bugged right out of his head and he made a sort of "gack!" noise that is not the sort of thing you want to hear from your doctor.

Anyway, being sick is stupid and inconvenient.

Also, I am so late at replying to comments. I open the window to do it and start typing and then just go to sleep. Apparently mono does that to you. Stupid!

Oh man, I feel for you. Waaaaaaaaay back when I was a young-un, my mono symptoms were similar to yours. My tonsils were so swollen and covered with puss, they looked like mini golf balls. I could barely swallow my own saliva and had to be taken to the hospital for steroids to shrink them.

I don't think I've ever had such a bad sore throat in my life.

Get plenty of rest and get well soon.

Ah, yes, being unable to swallow your own saliva, I know that problem well (UNFORTUNATELY). Quite strangely, my throat isn't sore at all, it's just that the tonsils are huge. In fact, aside from general lethargy, the only symptom I have is the HUGE TONSIL PROBLEM.

That sucks :( I hope you feel better soon!

(And when you do, let's hang out and go to the Spiral Diner and watch Star Trek and/or Angel. I'm here until January 24! There is plenty of time for you to stop having mono and watch Star Trek.)

Ahhh yes, as soon as I can eat food again* we will go to the Spiral Diner and watch tv and stuff. And I will have funnn!

*In the past two days, my tonsils have become so swollen I can no longer swallow food. Or water, even. WTF.

***hugs***

That SUCKS. I had it 2.5 years ago and it took me 9 months to get over the exhaustion factor. :( I hope you bounce back much sooner than that.

Take plenty of vitamin B, I found that helped.

Ugh, I never had mono, but my tonsils (back when I had them, lol) were bigger than golfballs and used to get those patches, too. :/ Look into getting them taken out. It'll suck for a few days afterwards (and don't do it over Thanksgiving like I did), but trust me, life is much better without them.

I hope you feel better! *sends good karma*
