Do I have mono or something else?

Asked by johnny (335points) April 9th, 2009 from iPhone

I’ve been really tired and haven’t been feeling all that well for the past few weeks. And for some reason I’ve been really hungry too. I don’t have health insurance cause I’m in college so I can’t really go to the doctor. Any insight would be great

Your college should have a local health center where they provide you with free doctor services. They charge a bit for medicine, if you need it, but the prices are cheaper than elsewhere, and the checkup/consultation is free. Your tuition fees already include these services, so you might as well make use of it.

PnL already said what I was going to say. It’s good advice. Do it.

Please go -soon. Mono really isn’t anything to mess around with. Go to the Health Center – get checked out and feel better!

Mono is very serious. Look at the knob on the set. A little to the left. Now push it in. There, should be back to stereo now.

Whoa thanks Zen. I feel much better now. If I knew that’s all I had to do I would have done it long ago. You are my hero

Definitely follow PnL’s advice. You need bloodwork to figure out what the problem is.

Hard to know based on the limited information you provided, but I doubt you have mono. Most people with mono do feel tired, yes. But, they tend to have a decreased appetite (anorexia) rather than an increased appetite. Other classis mono symptoms are a sore throat and (sometimes) a sense of fullness in the stomach (from an enlarged spleen). Your symptoms (tiredness) are so vague as to make it impossible to know. As PnL said, only a doctor can help you with this condition, whatever it is.
