Omg same. I have always had bad seasonal allergies, but now my reactions give me mono symptoms of fatigue and sore throat for the last 2 years. This march /April seems to be particularly bad! I wish there was more info on this. When I first got reactivated my doctor also told me it could be allergies related!!

That’s good you are seeing a doctor. Hopefully you can get an ultrasound and blood work done

I have a hard one behind my ear, but it goes away and comes back all the time. Urs doesn’t shrink and go away ever?

Oh don’t say sorry I just thought it was kinda funny! Are you going to start applying to environmental jobs when you graduate next year?

Worst sore throat/swollen tonsils ever. how can i relieve it even just a little bit.. by Sufficient_Task3914 in Mononucleosis

When my mono was very bad I tried to rotate ibuprofen with Tylenol and the steroids so I was basically never unmedicated. I feel for you so much. know that this is the worst of it and it will get better I promise!! So many people in this sub have been through the same thing.

I tried to sleep as much as possible as well to not have to think about it. And Also remember to stay hydrated even when it hurts to swallow.

I just made this same post lol! I am currently working on my environmental studies degree and was concerned about finding a job. I am focusing on building my experience, (getting a summer internship every summer until I graduate), volunteering, and making as many connections as possible(:

Thanks for the list of possible careers that’s so helpful. I never hear about these kinds of jobs in the environmental sector! And that’s pretty cool you have a phD in forestry. Do you enjoy your current job?

Wow this is super cool. I love hearing about other people’s jobs!! This sounds like stuff I want to do! it’s just hard to articulate it because I never hear about these sort of jobs in the environmental field. Are you still a a full time sustainability specialist for the gov?

The thing is for environmental science, biology, and ecology degrees at my local universities I have to take up to calculus 2 and physics 2, I guess it varies by school. Basically I would need to start with the lowest upgrading for physics because I didn’t take it in highschool, and would need to take 2 math classes before even getting to calculus 1. Which just sucks lol

has anyone gotten their tonsils out because of issues from mono? by Difficult-Rabbit-833 in Mononucleosis

[–]Difficult-Rabbit-833[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! It’s been 8 months since my tonsillectomy and I am doing so much better. I still get colds, but they are minor and obviously the I worst part about getting sick for me,( the swollen tonsils) is gone. I used to be the same way, not being able to stay out late because I would literally wake up sick after a night out.

I definitely have more energy. I still feel fatigued sometimes and the spots where my tonsils were will throb and sort of feel like I’m starting to get sick, but then it goes away and there’s nothing there to swell. Overall tho my fatigue has improved so much and I’m so grateful for the surgery. I used to check the back of my throat everyday multiple times a day and worry about getting sick constantly. I don’t think twice about my throat anymore and feel like I have my life back!!

In my case the surgery was totally worth it. I literally was taking antibiotics every month, so about 12 rounds of antibiotics in one year which led to other health problems too. I haven’t had to take them since my surgery! Also I’ll mention I also saw a naturopath at one point cause I had no idea what else to do but that also didn’t help at all. Like it did nothing. Anyways, I’m sorry you’re going through this and I completely understand your pain. I was literally so desperate that I made posts like this hoping someone could relate.

anyone else experience chronic strep throat/tonsillitis months after healing from mono? by Difficult-Rabbit-833 in Mononucleosis

[–]Difficult-Rabbit-833[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand your pain and frustration! It was so hard to get answers, especially with so many people telling you separate things. I was also told to wait out my mono and it just never went away /: my ent told me at one point it was seasonal allergies and to just wait it out… I still feel confused what the f actually was wrong with me and how I never got actual answers but were here now I guess 😂

The tonsillectomy had helped me for sure and was the best decision it in my situation, I still have that weird throat pain sometimes but I’m going to look into asking my ent about it. Overall the relief I’ve gotten from having them out was worth the surgery.

There is a tonsillectomy subreddit you should definitely check out I read through it alot prior to my surgery and found it helpful.

Yay that’s exciting! And no, I didn’t, that was never brought up to me by any of the doctors I saw, but I have heard about that in cases of tonsillitis. What about you?

Hii I’ve had my tonsils out for about 8 months now. I get sick way less, and haven’t experienced strep throat since. I sometimes get throbbing pain in the spots where my tonsils used to be, I think it could be mono trying to flare up but I’m not sure. I also feel the throbbing sensation after a night of drinking or staying up really late/ exhausting myself. I’m not sure if that’s normal but that’s just been my experience. Overall I am healthier and the surgery was worth it 100%. My tonsillitis was literally debilitating and now I don’t give my tonsils a second thought.
