I was diagnosed with Mono about one year ago. My doctor told me to drink lots of fluid, avoid physical activity, rest (REST…REST). I was also told to take 1000 Mg. of VITAMINE C “TIME RELEASED”” every day! I did as instructed, but the Mono “”reoccurred”” after only 6 weeks of being over it. So, it can come back. She said that the reason that I “”probably”” had a reoccurrance of it is because three months “”before”” I came in contact with Mono, I had Internalized Strep. So, she felt that my immune system was very weakened from that. She did tell me that I will (from time to time) have Mono …but, that I would probably not even be aware of it. She said that the symptoms will probably not ever be the same, or at least be much lessened from that of the original infection. She stated that it will always be indicated in the blood work, but that I will not be having the sickness forever. She said that our immune systems will eventually be strong enough to “”kick”” the Mono, and that antibodies will develop to prevent the same sickness in the future. 🙂
