Mono sucks man, I had it a few years ago and got it Real bad! .....at least the ski season is over(for the most part) cus i got mine in Nov and couldn't ski the first half of the season because of my spleen(mono makes it swell up and risks rupturing it). but i had it real bad and missed almost a month of school. My tonsils swelled up and it hurt like sh**t to swallow, almost had to be hospitalized because my esophagus was swelling shut and i laid in bed for 3 weeks. But i also had friends who found out they had it but it only affected them for a couple days......so i guess it all kinda depends on the situation, but in my personal experience, IT SUCKED ALMOST AS BAD AS SUMMER! -- also u usually get strep w/ mono... so yea u should hopefully be straight on the H1N1 ha.

well you can get really intense mono or really weak mono....so pray for the 2nd one. it seems just like a normal flu (shivers, fever, sore throat) but only last for like a week.

i've had it + a strain that affects the throat. sucks reallll bad but at least you have an excuse to be lazy. and there is a benefit...people who have mono become immune to leukimia.

I've never had it before, but I know once you get it you can't get it again, like the chicken pox.

+vibes, feel better!

I had mono in feb. the main symptoms lasted for 3-4 weeks but i felt tired until about two weeks ago. you can lack energy for up to a year with mono but itll probably more around a couple months.
