Guest guest Posted May 17, 2002 Report Share Posted May 17, 2002 I had it for 8 months when I was 15-16 years old. Then was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome a year after. I had the epstein-barr and cmv viruses in my body at that time HTH Mandy Howell Mystique Scents www.mystiquescents.com -- Mononucleosis How many of you with Fibro have had Mono?

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2002 Report Share Posted May 17, 2002 I didn't know I had mono until I had a blood test, I felt awful and when I went to the Dr. she did blood work and said I had had mono I think that was 8 yrs ago, and I haven't felt well since then.I keep looking for something to be the cause of this to, but I think one thing I've found that there is no really rich people with this like movie stars, or football players or they would be trying to find a cure, because we would know if someone like that felt like we do,they would be out there raising money and trying to find a cure, like they are doing with aids .We need to get some support so we can get more research done and I think the only way is when someone famous has fibro. I think we should all write Oprah, she has a web site where we can write and tell our story, and it would give people more information,so they can understand that this is a real illness, and it is real pain.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2002 Report Share Posted May 17, 2002 I had a very severe case when I was 17..I almost had to be hospitalized. This caused me to have a positive EBV and since then I have been sick for the rest of my life (I am 51 now). -Lynne --- TJ Tang TJTang@...> wrote: > How many of you with Fibro have had Mono? > ===== 51 year old single Mom of 15 year old daughter.

I didn't feel sick then and hadn't been sick for months before the blood test so I don't know how the blood test could have turned up with mono but I guess they don't lie I didn't know you could have mono and not 'be' sick but apparently you can...unless the mono stays in your bloodstream for a very long period of time after initial sickness??? At the time I was afraid the doctor was going to use the mono as the answer to all of my problems but when I went back 2 months later because nothing had changed he then referred me to the rheumatologist who diagnosed my fibro.
