what kind of illness would i have if i required a lot of rest and sleep, and couldn't work long hours?

Answer 1

hmmm....

I would go with Mono (Mononucleosis)....
:)

"A feeling of fatigue or tiredness may persist for months following the acute phase of the illness. It is recommended that patients with "mono" avoid participation in any contact sports during the first six to eight weeks following the onset to prevent trauma to the enlarged spleen."

The initial symptoms of "mono" are: a general lack of energy or malaise, a loss of appetite, and chills. These initial symptoms can last from one to three days before the more intense symptoms of the illness begin. The more common intense symptoms include: a severe sore throat, fever, and swollen glands (lymph nodes) in the neck area.

There is no way to make an accurate diagnosis based only on that description. You could have anything from a common cold to anemia to lung cancer to HIV/AIDS. Some things that woud be important in starting to determine what might be causing those symptoms are things like how long it's been going on, whether the symptoms are becoming worse, improving, or staying the same, whether it started quickly or slowly, and what other symptoms you have. See your doctor if it's a real problem for you, only with more history and probably some tests will any answer be able to be known.
