Looking for support!
I started with a horrible fever back in late September 2021…lasted for two weeks along with headache and feeling super tired. Finally was able to get blood work and it showed I had high liver enzymes. I am a mom (39) with two young kids, so they (nurse in dr office) was worried I wouldn’t have time to come back, so they sent me to the emergency room. Emergency room dr, did CT Scan and more blood work and came back and told me I had mono. They had me stay the night and also let me know fatty liver - Thanks to the ultrasound. I immediately changed my diet since October - no alcohol, no saturated fats, more vegetables good fiber and proteins, green tea etc. Since the mono diagnosis, I have MAJOR anxiety, talking to a counselor, trying to stay calm, was put on anti anxiety medicine, but still experience these mono symptoms and its been almost 5 months:
joint pain
back pain
random pains around the ribs
burning/tingling/electric type pain in arms, legs, fingers and toes - really sometimes everywhere it feels like.
headache (in back left of head lower side near neck)
diarrhea
body aches
random pains at random times
blurred vision - only for a couple of days
jaw/sometimes feels like my teeth hurt
dry mouth - had a few months ago
horrible sleeping at night
random jolts through my legs sometimes.
I NEVER had sore throat or sniffles. Starting to take more vitamins and hope this passes soon. Jumped on this forum to get advice and motivation. I am very scared and every day I think I am dying.
Send advice!
