My daughter was diagnosed with mono in December. She was so sick and they couldn’t figure out exactly what was wrong. She had raging fevers, rashes and terrible fatigue. Evidently, mono is a lot trickier to deal with in adults(she’s 47) but she’s finally pretty much back to her old self. Due to the fevers, she’s been losing her hair which is just one more crisis she’s had to deal with but the dr. assures her it’s temporary.
Glad she’s doing much better! Biotin supplement will help for the hair growth. I’m trying to remember the words my daughter’s pediatrician said so long ago, something to the effect of on rare occasions the virus never fully goes away and can flare up again in the future. So I guess once we get it some become carriers. Am I using that term correctly? Mono is something I don’t hear too much about anymore but I’m surprised there has been no vaccine put out by now. I do wonder if people diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome are carriers of the virus. I don’t remember feeling too sick when I had it as a kid. Maybe a week or two of tired and flu-ish feeling. But I was diagnosed with CFS 10 years ago.
