I'm really starting to think I have mono again.

quote:Of course, I've known people who have had Chicken Pox and other viruses more than once so it does happen. But it doesn't appear that it is "probable" that you would get it again. It appears "improbable" that you would because you would have built up antibodies.
Mono usually isn't very serious, although the virus remains in your body for life. Most people have been exposed to the Epstein-Barr virus by the time they're 35 years old and have built up antibodies. They're immune and won't get mononucleosis again. Treatment mostly involves bed rest and getting adequate fluids.
