if you really think you have it, go to the doctors and get a blood test. they'll let you know.
either way, it could jsut be a little virus or something.. i got something sorta like that a while back. i was soooooo tired and ijust felt like shit. and i slept and slept and slept for like two weeks.. and then it just kinda went away. i got a blood test and everything and there was no mono or anything like that. so i don' tknow?? either way, feel better soon =)

yeah it's called the monospot test...
I remember lookin up info on mono cuz couple months ago bob thought he had it.. But he went to the doctor, and turns out that he was just eating too many hamburgers... typical. Here's a copy and paste message of what I sent bob, and it's from various web-sites...: -------------------------------------------------------------- In addition to general weakness and fatigue, symptoms of mononucleosis may include any or all of the following: sore throat and/or swollen tonsils fever and chills nausea and vomiting or decreased appetite swollen lymph nodes in the neck and armpits headaches or joint pain enlarged spleen jaundice skin rash Symptoms do not usually appear until four to seven weeks after exposure to EBV. An infected person can be contagious during this period and for as many as five months after symptoms disappear. Also, the virus will be excreted in the saliva intermittently for the rest of their lives. Contrary to popular belief, the EBV is not highly contagious. Persons living with someone who has mononucleosis have a very small risk of being infected unless they have direct contact with the person's saliva. There are no cures for mononucleosis but alternative remedies may help the body fight infection and relieve symptoms. In general, the patient should drink plenty of water and eat unprocessed foods, fresh fruits, and vegetables. Meat, sugars, saturated fats, and caffeinated and decaffeinated drinks should be avoided. Alternative medicine practitioners recommend eating four to six small meals daily. Gargling with salt water (one half teaspoon in one cup of warm water) or taking throat lozenges may also relieve sore throat. Vitamins A, C, and B-complex, magnesium, calcium, and potassium supplements may boost the immune system and increase energy levels. prior infection with the virus usually provides long-lasting immunity. Avoiding contact with the saliva or respiratory secretions of people known to have EBV is advisable." Last edited by yoko*; Jan 06, 03 at 05:24 PM.

when it's to swallow i tmeans your glands are swollen. that's not a mono-specific symptom. the only way to really know is to go see a doctor and get the test done.
