does anyone feel like they look super pale expecially in the face after months of being sick? every time i look in the mirror i feel like i look super pale but family tells me i look better idk maybe its just a mind thing

I feel like i look super pale the super red and it just goes back and forth.

i do notice my cheeks and legs get red when i get fever and those hot flashes…also everytime i take a bath i wont put water too hot anymore but the tops of my feet and my shins break out in what looks like a heat rash but on my legs its like these red spots it honestly kind of looks like pots but i read you normally have a racey heart and other things with it so im just assuming its from the mono making my skin irritated…have you ever experienced any weir skin rashes and breakouts like that?

Hey Katelyn,

I remember thinking that I looked very pale during mono too, and it is only understandable given everything that this virus takes you through, physically, mentally and emotionally. I want to reassure you this can be normal Katelyn, I felt I looked pale too but things returned to normal as I started to feel better with time and especially into that second year.

Still thinking about you and hoping you are coping as well as can be expected at this tough time - hang in there Katelyn I still truly believe you are going to be FULLY well again and that Year 2 is going to be your year of complete recovery. Trusting God with that.

thank you craig i hope you start feeling better soon too

sorry
i drink carrot/ginger juice daily
it gives you a little color
try it?

my face hands and feet are a little bronzed from it…
it fades once you stop juicing
i will not- as it kills cancer cells
so i want it to kill this B••••A•• virus…

healing prayers to u!

i also drink carrot juice and green juice daily my mom had talked to someone at her work and they said a friend of theirs had the virus for a whole year and drank alot of carrot juice and within 3 months she felt better…honestly though i dont think thats what cures you lol but it can only help! it also says its good for the function of your cells so i dont think i will give it up either it cant harm only help…thank you! hope you start feeling better soon too
