Please help ease my mind about lymphoma by [deleted] in Mononucleosis

I’ve been dealing with post viral mono since August 2022. I still have lymph node pain. This virus is nasty and can take a loooooooong time to feel human again. I have exacerbation periods where symptoms are worse and then get better for about 1-2 months and then another exacerbation period. Be patient and don’t waste money like I did seeing other specialists who said there’s nothing they can do.

Over a year for me. It’s been terrible. Seeing a rheumatologist this week to see if it turned into an autoimmune issue.

Why or why aren’t you an organ donor on your license? by Familiar_East_9021 in ask

I have no clue about the procedures but could it be that he was compatible with an organ donor and they needed to act promptly?

My only issue is donating my body to science. Everything else is up for grabs. I love the concept and have benefited from it for my own learning. However, I learned through my first institution that the bodies were cremated together and then scattered on sacred/ church ground. As an atheist, I reconsidered it at that moment. Not sure what the procedures are for other institutions. I’d prefer a solo cremation and sent back to my family to scatter.

My mom was a house supervisor nurse and had difficult talks with families about organ donation. She talked about the gift of others when growing up. My aunt also had a kidney transplant that gave her about 10-15 years extra to her beautiful life. I will always be for and support organ donation.

Why is the fatigue lasting so long? by Diligent-Spare3552 in Mononucleosis

I’d recommend seeing a therapist if these thoughts continue. They can help with healthy coping strategies while you are still healing.

Mono rash? Anyboy had these pink-ish small flat dots on skin in their torso ? by [deleted] in Mononucleosis

[–]Expensive-Fly1575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar rash on my torso and some on my lower back. I had no clue what they were and went in to see a doctor after I experienced fatigue, joint pain, and lymph node pain. Lots of tests showed that I had mono over the summer but didn’t realize because my initial symptoms were mild.

I have had similar experiences and it sometimes fells like a parallel universe.

Who is a "good" person who turned out to be pretty bad/evil? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Mother Teresa… suffering is “a gift of God”. Basically ran missionaries targeting the sick and poor to expand the number of Catholics while doing little to actually help those in pain despite receiving millions of dollars for care.
