Being Sick

Sooo. I have this crazy insane immune system where I like RARELY get sick at all. The last time I was sick was about 3 years ago on the day of my birthday party. I woke up in the morning feeling like crap (or P diddy ;)) and I was throwing up a bunch and well you get the just of it. Anyway, we had to cancel my party that day and I stayed home from school. BUT of course with my immune system i ended up feeling perfectly new by about noon. So rather than the whole day, I was sick for about 5 hours :/

Well now, 3 years later, I find out that I have mono. And this could've actually been in my system for about 2 or 3 months. The doctor told me that these glands in my neck were swollen and that pretty much gave it away. Well I thought that they were just knots in my neck because I have bad neck and back problems with a bunch of knots and stuff. But no they were actually glands (good thing I didn't have my girlfriend rub them out that would've been bad lol).

 So the way this mono thing happened was kind of gradual. I woke up about 3 days ago with a kind of dry throat and had that thing where you swallow and it hurts. Well it wasn't that bad and I had it other times before if my window is open while I'm sleeping. Well it got better throughout the day and the next morning I woke up and it was about the same again so I figured I'd close my window the next night. Throughout that day I just took some tylenol and it made the soreness in  my throat go away. So the NEXT morning I woke up was a Saturday and I had computer programming class. It hurt a little bit more but not like extreme. My mom thought I might have strept throat so we went to the doctor to find out. When I was there, the doctor found the glands and stuff and asked me questions and you know the usual doctor procedure. And they decided to take my blood and do a test.

The test results came back about ten minutes later and we found out that I had mono. When the doctor told me this I kinda looked at her funny and said "are you sure?" Because every time I've heard of someone having mono, they were puking and just felt like complete crap and I felt perfectly fine I actually went home and ate 17 pizza rolls and 3 eggs and bunch of other food like a normal person.

Well that was yesterday and this morning I woke up and my throat hurt worse. I'm guessing it was pretty early when I woke up so I went back to sleep. Then when I woke up the second time it was about 10 million times worse than a couple hours before, ALL because of sleeping. I don't know why this is but I guess when I sleep sometimes, I wake up with an extremely dry mouth and throat but this hasn't gone away yet and every time I swallow now I cringe at the pain in my neck. I honestly would rather get staples in my head (which has happened before due to a head injury and I got staples instead of stitches).

Soooo yeah that had been my past 4 days and I'm sorry it was so long but if you enjoyed reading about my suffering (lol) then please stayed tuned for more sometime :)
