Dumb.

Is it one of those things where once you've had it you always have it and can just get it again if you're run down, or do you have to be exposed to it again? I honestly don't know.

Dude, it's -osis, a "condition" not just an infection. You'll have mono for life, it will come and go.It's not life threatening, but it's damn sure annoying and an inconvenience. Drink plenty of fluids, take aspirin, if you can tolerate it, and rest as much as you can. It'll go away in a few days.

I'm not a doctor, don't know what an osis condition implies. That really blows that you have it forever.
Comeby!

"osis" simply means "abnormality" or "condition"

Right, 04, "-osis" means "condition" that may, and in all likelyhood, will return.

Yes, but it's no longer mononucleosis, it's now BInucleosis, and you are going to die. I'm sorry.

I've had mono 3 times now.

The first time was worse that the 2nd, 2nd worse that the 3rd

My doctor told me that some people are just prone to it. I think he was calling me a man whoar.

i don't necessarily agree that "osis" implies this.

04, why don't you enlighten us with your amazing medical knowledge. Why doesn't it?

I'm actually kinda dissapointed with how weak this thread is so far...

I thought I had mono at the beginning of this week because I kept going home and going to sleep.

Turns out it was just a really bad hangover from last weekend.

terata - i'm not saying it isn't possible, i'm just saying that i have never heard of "osis" implying probable recurrence. calm down.

From the Mayo Clinic web site. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/mononucleosis/DS00352
quote:
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.
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.
