I was diagnosed with mono April 2012. Have had severe fatigue & mild fevers reaching 100.1. I got referred to a hemotologist/oncologist by my primary@ children's I'm boston. Only had 1 app so far: high hemoglobin & mono still in system... negative for lymphoma and leukemia for sure. I'm waiting for my follow up app next week but its eating me up I'm so tired and sick. I've had strep 6 times during the summer, uti infections, and scarlet fever. All diagnosed. But now I'm just tired, sickly. And my lymph nodes are golf balls.

Weight loss. Aches. Headaches. Muscle spasms. My spleen was also enlarged during the beginning of my mono.

Um... looking at what you have given as your symptom list, it appears that you have mono.

Not meaning to be an A$$ about this but what you're presenting is what your doctors have told you that you have. You should trust your medical practitioner. They're smart, and have much more experience than we do on-line.

Also there is really nothing you can do about this. The Mono might have weakened your immune system so becareful.

How are we supposed to know what it is? We can't see the blood tests or your charts.

There isn't any way that we can diagnose anything here. We can never really get enough information nor do we have the knowledge or experience to tell you anything. I googled mono. What symptoms you present are consistent with Mono. Beyond that I can tell you nothing.

I am sorry to say but you're going to have to wait for your doctor's appointment.
