I came down with adult mononucleosis when I was 26 and in grad school. Almost killed me, was misdiagnosed and then my liver and spleen shut down. Was in the hospital for a week, spent the next month recovering. Had a cholesterol count over 1000 for a few days.
Ignorance is truly ugly.
I got mono when I was 38 years old. I had 4 kids and I swear I got it when I took one of the kids to the pediatrician. I got it right after a kid visit.
I was so sick I had to crawl up the stairs on my hands and knees three weeks after I came down with it. I had an enlarged lymph node that stayed that way and then of course they ran all the tests to see if I had cancer or something. Scared me to death.
This teacher is an idiot.
