re: Anyone had mono as an adult?

Wow, I never knew he had it.

The basketball player Adrien Payne had mono around the same time I did. He was a big college star.

I was in my late 20s.

It was horrible for the first 8 or 9 days, and for some reason, the doctor was adamant it wasn’t mono and didn’t want to order a test. I have no idea why he cared, as this is obviously not pill shopping behavior.

I asked my parents’ doctor and he ordered the test though he also didn’t think I had it.

Of course, I tested positive.

But once those first few days were over, I was fine. I just didn’t do any strenuous exercise for a few weeks.

Right before I tested positive, I was in the best shape of my life. And I went for a run and barely did a 3 mile run in 27-28 minutes.

That’s when I knew something was up.

Now, I’m not sure I could put up that time.
