mono runs your system down so its easier to catch other diseases. I had it when I was 22 and almost died from it. Screws with your spleen and liver. It's nothing to laugh about, that I can tell you for sure.

Chronic fatigue, aches all over, fever, general blahs. Catch it while its still early, you DON'T want it to turn into Epstein-Barr, it'll take a lot longer to get over, basically TOTAL bed rest, and could be serious.

tired!! can start with a sore throat and flu like symptoms. Get some blood work run to be sure. It can be dangerous to your spleen, I believe.
