My Experience With Mono & Sinus Infections

Now that I am almost back to 100% health, I figured I would write about the importance of staying healthy and the idea of how to avoid getting mono transmitted to you...my fans.

On November 26, 2005 I came home from a friend's party, and had a horrible headache and an even worse fever. I don't know about you but I like fevers just as much as I like being ripped apart by a pack of wolves. They're no good.

On top of having mono, I had a nice case of a sinus infection. To make a long story short, I went to the hospital, found out I had mono and a sinus infection, they gave me an antibiotic for my sinus infection (because mono is a virus and it can't be treated), the antibiotics dehydrated me and I had to go back to the hospital and have an an IV stuck in me, then I had glands that were swollen all the way down under my chin, then I was prescribed steroids, then I got better.

All of this happened the week before finals.

Luckily, the steroids helped a lot. They made me feel like a whole new man. Luckily, I was able to take my finals because I was feeling much better (although I did almost pass out as I was climbing the stairs to one of my classes...but don't tell anyone because that's embarassing).

In conclusion, if you are one of those people that makes out with everyone, make sure you know if they have had mono before, and if they have had it within the last 6 months, say no to mono. Furthermore, if you like to drink after people, then stop. Trust me, you DO NOT want to get this.

Being the dedicated fan that you are (for reading this blog), I am concerned for your health. I would hope that anyone reading this would stay as healthy as can be. I mean I'm not saying that anyone that doesn't read this shouldn't be concerned. But why should I worry about people that don't read this? You are the chosen ones.

Take care of your body.
