"in sickness and in health", they really aren't lying.

So here’s the DL, in the middle of Spring Break I ended up in the doctor’s office and they swabbed my mouth and gave me some penicillin pills and off I went. A few days later I felt better and didn’t think to much about my results cause since I was feeling better I was assured it was Strep Throat. Moving on, next thing I know the pills are done and a sore throat and headache are back with even a bit of pressure in the middle of my upper body around my spleen section. Went back to the doctor and apparently having pressure on your spleen is a symptom of Mono… he doesn’t think it necessarily is because my glands didn’t look swollen but they feel like they are in the process. I have been through Mono once before, funny thing is it was this time last year… when I went through Mono I ended up at over five clinics and an EMT at one point. I ended my journey tired and crying in the hospital hooked up to IV cause they couldn’t get steroids into me fast enough. For a week a tube stayed in my arm and I was at the hospital in the morning and at night for more drugs, I thought I was going to die. So even though I may not have Mono the fear still stands and because there is not a cure out there, I’ll be getting fucking prescribed mouthwash and keeping an eye on my temperature and aches and pains… hopefully this doesn’t get any worse, whatever the hell it is.
