I try to get in a lot of Vitamin C. I will look into coconut oil and Monolaurin. Thanks! How long did you have mono?
My biggest problem is a lack of sleep. I live in a noisy environment and am a light sleeper, which is a pretty bad combination. I sleep normal hours, but there is always someone up from 1:00-3:00 a.m. or 1:00-7:00 a.m. (they work at night which explains the late night hours). They sometimes are home during these hours cooking and doing whatever else, and the noise keeps me up.
I slept no more than 1 hour and 45 minutes last night due to noise and the AC going out again, which made it very hot. I wear ear plugs, but the ear plugs do not drown out talking and other sounds (cooking, loud noises, etc.). We also have pets; if they or somebody else wake me up, I have a hard time falling back asleep.
Lately, I have been having dizzy spells and have felt super tired every day. I can sleep 6 to 6 1/2 hours some nights, and only feel like I have slept 1 all day. Still experiencing the widespread body aches and pains too. The aches and pains worsen without proper rest. Not sure how to tackle that problem.
