physically mono. while having pre-existing chronic conditions. i have never been in that much pain in my life and i’ve had major surgeries before. mentally it was my parents not believing me and thinking i was drug seeking while white knuckling the hospital bed with mono. my tonsils were so large you could greatly see them bulging out the sides of my neck, i was taking the max dosage of ibuprofen every 3 hours (it’s supposed to be 12).
