Last Wednesday I had aches and chills. Woke at 2 am with a fever. Went to the doctor on thursday and was given antibiotics. That night my fever was 104.5. I went back to the doctor and was given numerous tests and received two bags of fluids. After not feeling much better, I went back this THursday and tested positive for mono…. With a 3 month old and a toddler. To put it best, I will quote the receptionist “Ohhhhh, you are going to be sick for a long time”. Yesterday I awoke with a rash on my body. It was mild and looked like an allergic reaction. This morning I awoke with a swollen puffy face. I look like octamom. My whole body is bright red and feels like I have been bit by fire ants. I am now in the ER. Hoping that they will give me something. To. Feel. better. It seems that mono can get worse than you think… When you are one of the 5% that get a measles like rash. Enough said.
In the ER
