How do you know if you have Mono? What are the symptoms for it?

He means the disease mononucleosis. Unfortunately, all my mom's medical journals are, well, at my mom's house, but perhaps this will help slightly?

In any case, if you feel you are ill, you should pay a visit (or at least a call) to your local physician, Celli.

Peace & Luv, Liz

Thanks for the link.  I've been in and out of the doctor's office for the past month with bad stomach pains.  They don't know what's wrong with me, and a lot of people are trying to speculate that I have either Mono or an ulcer. :(

My cousin had mono a few months ago.  He said your throat kills so much that you can't even swallow.  All you can do is drink water and even that kills!  Plus, you get really tired from the lack of food.  He said he lost like 20 points, then once he got better he gained it all back in 5 days hahaha!  XD

Okay, so this definitely isn't mono.

It's not appendicitis then?

EDIT: Mixed up expressions, so removed a word to fix it.

It's not constant chronic pain, so I don't think it would be my appendix.

I guess not. Well, that's all I know about stomachs. :-\
