Why is everyone trippin off mono?
Mono sucks. Although doctors say it’s technically not possible, I’ve had mono three times (it never fully went away and “flared up” when I was stressed – my immune system reacts acutely to stress) over the course of two years. Not only does it cause terrible sore throats, it can cause painful swelling of your glands which makes eating or drinking impossible, headaches, and sore muscles. Severe mono will leave you hospitalized as it takes a toll on your internal organs, and can lead to acute kidney failure.
