The saga is OVER!!!

I FINALLY know what is wrong with me. I have mononucleosis (mono). I'm not sure if it's related to when I got sick before in June, but I took a blood test wednesday and the results were definitely mono for now.

Long story short (seriously, I don't really feel like writing). Monday I had an epiphany that I had never really felt "normal" since I had been sick before. My appetite has never gone back to normal...I'm always tired, which I attributed to work...but realized that it is not normal, and my lymph nodes are HUGE. I had noticed in the last 2 weeks that once I got home at night I would run a low grade fever, granted your temp goes up at night naturally, but not to 99+. So I wound up going back to the doctor I saw before, even though I now have insurance, I figured this was more of a "follow up"...he wasn't much help though, he just said I probably had mono, before that didnt get diagnosed, but there was nothing to do, so I went on with life.

Tuesday I felt worse, and wednesday I felt even worse, so I asked to leave work early and went straight to the doctor. She took blood and here we are...monoland. She also said I'm anemic...way to kick me when I'm down body.

This is all making me crazy though. I am sleeping a lot, but I know I have to go back to work monday, so I don't want to get too used to sleeping all day. I'm a little stressed, the only thing really you can do for mono is rest, but I don't really have a lifestyle where that is possible. My work is being so great about all this, I feel awful...it's just between life in general, work, I have my certification test coming next week...I don't have time for this. My doctor said we are taking this one week at a time, so after a week we'll evaluate how im feeling and how much I can handle. She also gave me steroids to help with my energy...I'm nervous about taking them, I'm not so much wanting to bulk up....I mean I just lost 12 pounds thanks to mono, not really looking to gain it back.

anyhoo, thats what is going on peeps...
