I thought that my daughter's current flare up was mono to start, in mid-Oct. It may have been. Several of the kids at school had it, she was definitelyexposed, and she had the big lymph nodes and some other symptoms that go along with it. The dr. didn't do any tests for it, tho, because with the HMO thing, they frown on testing since there's no treatment for it anyway. But she had the migraine and dizziness and some other symptoms last year, so I don't think the mono could have been a cause of this whole rotten thing.

Never had mono, just the typical childhood diseases.

Never had mono, and only missed 2 days of school from KG-12th grade. Then BOOM, this mess, and that all changed. But, I still don't miss much work, I keep pushin' for fear of not being able to continue if I stop!
