DOES MONO RETURN THRU OUT LIFE???

View More Posts Ignore
I'm 57. Had mono with jaundice/liver in early 20's. I have hypothyroidism for with I take meds but there are days that I can barely move & if I push myself, I get fibro.
Sometimes, I'm too tired to breathe!

So, does mono return? Are there tests I should have other than thyroid levels?

" I am 64 and just recovered after 1 1/2 years with mono. My dr. said is is rare that it will return. Sure hope not!! yes, you can have a blood test to determine if you have mono or not. Your doc can do one. Better check it out. "

" THANK YOU Jomo,
My white blood count has always been high & now I have high platelets & have to take an aspirin a day.
As for the platelets, I seem to always have an infected gland somewhere.
I will make sure I get tested.
Love ~ Cathy "
