which ever you want to call it. Epstein Barr Virus causes mono. I had it in 2003 and I was so sick. Believe it or not, I had it for 1-1/2 years. I was diagnosed after doing extensive bloodwork. I was house bound. I couldn't rarely go anywhere. I was so weak I couldn't get out of bed some days. It was the most awful thing I have ever had. And nothing could be done about it. It just had to kind of wear off. I did take a lot of vitamins toward the end of it and they seemed to help.

Like below I had Epstein-Barr, which it could be but (sm)
You may need to go to the doctor - maybe just a sinus infection and nothing to do with your blood sugar at all. But also try eating healthy for a day, no balogna and ketchup ;-). I have bad eating habits and when I eat really bad I feel like that. It really sounds like you are sick. Are you really tired? Because I had those symptoms last week with extreme fatigue and was going to bed by 6:00 every afternoon....got better after several days...there is apparently a flu going around and a version of it is just mostly extreme fatigue.
Epstein-Barr or chronic fatigue syndrome
Anyone here deal with Epstein-Barr virus and/or chronic fatigue syndrome? My 17-year-old DD was diagnosed recently with CFS. Her EBV titer came back at 2900 or so. She hasn't been sick with a fever or sore throat for over a year but has been tired a lot for at least that period of time, so we assume she was infected at least a year ago. She never had swollen nodes, so I really don't have a specific time in mind.
She is also anemic and recently started iron supplementation. Hopefully that will help some. We just wondered about some tried-and-true therapies for the symptoms. Hopefully she will be one whose levels continue to fall over time.

Roseanne Barr Not Rosie
The View is on ABC. Unless you're talking about something that Roseanne had set up with The View and or CBS already. Then sorry for the confusion.
Also, need to be sure it is mono, done by
blood testing. It could be something else, so be sure to get a correct diagnosis.
Roseanne Barr or Rita Rudner? Both Jewish.....
OP means Roseanne Barr; Rosie O'D not Jewish *l*
could be so many things, flu, mono.... sm
if she was hurting that bad I would probably take her to the doc. Wondering if I have the flu right now myself...blahhh. Hope not.
Thanks everyone. I have had mono in the past so (sm)
that is why they did not think that is the problem now. I didn't try the pepper yet...kind of chicken I think. But I will try that and if I am not better in the next day or two I will go and ask about my thyroid. I have been borderline hypothyroid for a long time so it wouldn't be a big surprise.
Thanks again
recurring mono --sm
Here is a link to a question regarding the recurrence of mono. Apparently it is rare, but it can happen:

Have you been tested for mono?
I had mono before and at the beginning stages of it I had a killer sore throat.
Is it necessary to see a doctor if you've got mono
From what I read (doing the Internet doctor thing ) there's nothing medicinal they can give you for it, so why bother going to the doctor in the first place? Everything I've read says all you can do is treat the symptoms - take Tylenol, get lots of rest and fluids, gargle with salt water for sort throat, etc.
When I was a teenager my mother had mono
My dad and the doctor (IMO) ingored the problem until she had such a high fever that she was halucinating. At that point I informed my dad that he had two choices, take her to the hospital or call 911. He took her in and they were all amazed at how bad she was. I know they gave her some kind of antibiotic.
I could have shot my dad. He is a total hypochondriac and yet he would let her go that far.
Oh sorry I just saw you posted you've had mono....nm

Anyone know how long mono lasts ...sm
in small children? I had it a few years back and it lasted 1-1/2 years. Yes, I am serious. I really don't think it will last that long though in small kids. She asked me how long mine lasted and I told her but I was wondering if anyone else had any experience with children having it and how long it lasted? I think sometimes it is a couple months or something like that. When I had it they told me I had chronic epstein barr virus which causes mono, which was why it lasted so long. I thought I was gonna die and never recover. lol
The flu is a virus actually.
One strain of the flu is really tricking people, too. It's worse than a cold, but with mine I never got the fever, just the terrible sore throat, cough, loss of voice, chills and body ache that Advil barely touched. But my doc said it was the same flu all her patients had, and they were confused and waiting to come in and ending up with secondary infections. Some stubborn people were even ending up with pneumonia. Thankfully the flu has peaked here and rates are falling in NC.
Does anyone know if there is a virus going around or flu although I did
get a flu shot.
Knowing about the virus, I would
say no because it just gives a false security and the virus can hibernate so to speak for months before rearing its ugly head. If negative only for you, probably she would think fine and good, can continue on as nothing happened. I don't think teaching her a lesson by a blood test and surely not 1 so soon. I had read about some signs of the virus and saw a huge lymph node on daughter's neck and I probably knew then even before her landing in the hospital with excruciating headaches and high fevers. They asked her to give consent for testing (she was under 21) and hers came back false-positive for several sticks- finally had the most advanced test done and then showed so really the test never showed a positive ever. You know, your daughter might be of age to say whether or not she would have 1 done- check that out first. It was not left up to me to give my yes or no. You know with all the rules and regulations they have now days, things have changed to what it was- a child under 21- you used to give consent, check this out first before rushing into the office. Let me know what you find out- send me an email if you would like. Good luck.
Which Anti-Virus you are using?
//
ummm ... there's always a virus going around. nm

It protects becaue the virus is
spread by sexual contact. If people were monogamous there would be no need for it. I miss the old days with more morals.
Let us know how you are today, girl! Hopefully just the flu or a virus. nm

FIREWALL/VIRUS PROTECTION
I am going to check out this AVG; First I used Norton, then Norton changed and screwed up my computer (years ago) and then I used McAfee which worked well. Then McAfee changed and I got viruses. Then I got some Vaio computers with Norton. Norton was good. Then, Norton was terrible and five viruses later I changed to the one that comes with my internet service and is free which found 11 viruses and Spyware stuff that Norton could not "see". Then that failed and I got some viruses and now I finally got the unintall program for the free one (which took a week to get for some reason) and I am shopping too. What I want is one that works all the time, easy to use, and especially one that has English speaking 24/7/365 help available without 50- 100.00 dollar fees just to ask a question about the software for which I have already paid good money that is not functioning! This AVG, does it have English speaking persons? Do they help you for free or a small fee?
they are aware of it, not a virus, they fixed it once and are working on it NM

Yes, they know and it's fixed. Not virus some Javascript issue.

No Way! Anti-Virus software not going to work.
Malware creators love to target April Fool's Day with their wares, and the latest worm, called Conficker C, could be one of the most damaging attacks we've seen in years.
Conficker first bubbled up in late 2008 and began making headlines in January as known infections topped 9 million computers. Now in its third variant, Conficker C, the worm has grown incredibly complicated, powerful, and virulent... though no one is quite sure exactly what it will do when D-Day arrives.
Thanks in part to a quarter-million-dollar bounty on the head of the writer of the worm, offered by Microsoft, security researchers are aggressively digging into the worm's code as they attempt to engineer a cure or find the writer before the deadline. What's known so far is that on April 1, all infected computers will come under the control of a master machine located somewhere across the web, at which point anything's possible. Will the zombie machines become denial of service attack pawns, steal personal information, wipe hard drives, or simply manifest more traditional malware pop-ups and extortion-like come-ons designed to sell you phony security software? No one knows.
Conficker is clever in the way it hides its tracks because it uses an enormous number of URLs to communicate with HQ. The first version of Conficker used just 250 addresses each day -- which security researchers and ICANN simply bought and/or disabled -- but Conficker C will up the ante to 50,000 addresses a day when it goes active, a number which simply can't be tracked and disabled by hand.
At this point, you should be extra vigilant about protecting your PC: Patch Windows completely through Windows Update and update your anti-malware software as well. Make sure your antivirus software is actually running too, as Conficker may have disabled it.
Microsoft also offers a free online safety scan here, which should be able to detect all Conficker versions:
