Symptoms usually start 4 to 6 weeks after you are exposed to the virus and when you have it you are very infectious to others and your whole immune system is compromised.
Mono can cause the spleen to swell and is subject to bursting with any impact.
It can take several months to completely get over Mono and its symptoms.

Hover has to be out until Spring.

But have you ever been a finely tuned athlete?

in high school, i was at least as finely tuned as our kicker.

I also like to use the word football. I coach a football team. A football team is made up of football players. Football players comprise all three phases of a football game. I learned this by reviewing the tape.

i think you're missing the point, though. I was making the point that mono is not something you just get over in a few days or even a few weeks. please don't make the mistake of accidentally defending alumni11 who seems to think that mono is nothing more than a cold. i regularly had a fever of 100+ for 10-14 days and was pretty much in bed for the better part of a month. i don't care how great you are in shape, you don't go from bedridden directly to a collegiate athletic competition.

I got that. I was just trying to have a little fun with you. I know how serious mono can be so I understand your point completely. And please, you can accuse me of a lot of things, but never accuse me of being a defender of Alumni11. That being said, I have to give him props on this thread because for the first time that I have noticed, he conceded that he was clueless about this issue and didn't get into any long, heated arguments.
