Mono

Came across a blog last week that I was reading for the first time, don't even remember whose it was ~ and in a past post she had mentioned having mono and I thought, oh.my.gosh that's what's wrong with me! 

(She hadn't even talked about symptoms, amazingly just the mention of it and a light went on in my head!)

 After putting it off for a couple of months, (mostly because we hadn't established new doctors since our move), and with hubby's urging, I finally made a doctor appointment.

Was asked a bunch of questions, throat checked and told it was probably allergies.  When I asked if it could be mono, was told most likely not because he didn't see the symptoms and then was given allergy prescriptions.  It all just didn't sit right with me, so the next day I made an appointment at another doctor's office.

Really liked this guy, (liked the first one too, but wasn't what I was looking for in a family physician) and when I told him my symptoms, (on-and-off for the past six months keep in mind) said, oh that's easy, it's allergies.  When I asked him if it could be mono, he paused to consider and then said probably not but we'll check just to be sure.  I asked the gal drawing my blood, some more about the symptoms and she suggested that I'd likely be alot more tired, so I figured it must be something else.  Anyway, long story short, got the blood work results back yesterday and indeed I do.  Obviously I had suspected it, but ruled it out because of what the doctors had said.

Posted  7/18/2012 - Whew, didn't mean to go so long between posting!!

Not much new going on here, but the everyday is keeping me hopping

for sure.  My goal last week was to get lots of rest and downtime

in the hopes of getting well.  The fresh air and vitamin-D from

beach-walking, reading and shelling sure did me good, but still not 100%:( 

I'm so bummed.

I'm knee-deep into projects and have so much going on

that I'm excited about, just not sure how to handle it all.

The next few weeks will be focused on getting well ~ 
lots of fluids, rest and just laying low.
Oy Vey!
