Anyone get mono?

[emmagfunk03]

I was diagnosed with mono today (apparently you CAN get it more than once), and was wondering if anyone else has it? The incubation period is 4-7 weeks and it's been almost 4 since Bonnaroo. With all the sharing that goes on with corn and whatnot with perfect strangers, I'm wondering if that's where I picked it up.

Anyone else? Bueller?

I believe it takes close physical contact. I had no ailments after roo other than post roo blues.

It just takes saliva, so kissing, sharing drinks, or passing the dutchie would do it.

But come to find out, the lab tech made an error and I actually don't have mono! Huzzah!

I've always wanted to say....

IBTL! ;D

I'm glad your doc misdiagnosed you. When I was little my best friend had mono and got to miss all this school, which I thought was totally cool at the time, so I purposefully drank after her so I would get sick and be able to miss school too. Damn what an idiotic thing to do! Well, luckily it did not work and I didn't get mono. I was such a stupid little kid. I rubbed poison ivy on myself in 4th grade because I didn't want to take the LEAP test (standardized test) and I got it so bad I had to go to the ER and get a shot. I felt so guilty afterwards b/c we didn't have a lot of money growing up and I felt bad that my mom had to pay for my shot and medicine so I fessed up and offered to do work around the house to make up for it.

Now, if this thread wasn't getting locked before I'm sure I just helped it along.
