This is 6th day for me so weak, tired and totally wiped out. I am a high school teacher and can not go to work, out the entire week and feels like next, too. Went to the Dr. and they are testing me for mono. I don't have a sore throat, but do have a headache, in no real pain but I can't believe how weak and tired I am. I'm 56 years old....with mono????? If it is, I guess I will be happy that it is something that is temporary so maybe it will be a blessing. I do know one thing....I can hardly wait to get my energy back...where did it go???
