I just was getting a sore throat and was extremely exhausted. I was doing a co-op placement at the vet clinic here...and I had to leave early 2 days because I was soo tired, and white as a ghost too. The vet tech told me I looked like sh*t and told me to go home. Before I was diagnosed with mono...I told my mom about my sore throat, so she looked at it and it was a bit white...but not bad. Well a couple days later I mentioned it again so she looked at my throat...and what like.."why haven't you been complaining more?!?!" My tonsils, well actually the whole back of my throat was completely white!! It was nasty. You know it's bad when you go to the doctor and when he looks in your mouth he says 'eww...that's gross'...lol!!#ed_op#/STRONG#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0080ff#ed_cl##ed_op#STRONG#ed_cl##ed_op#/STRONG#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0080ff#ed_cl##ed_op#STRONG#ed_cl#Anyway...my advice to you is pretty much what Ruth said...lots of rest, and if you feel tired, don't push it. Also, take a break from riding and other sports/hard activities. I was advised from the doctor to take a couple weeks off because, as Ruth said, your spleen enlarges, and he said if I fall off it could rupture.#ed_op#/STRONG#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0080ff#ed_cl##ed_op#STRONG#ed_cl##ed_op#/STRONG#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0080ff#ed_cl##ed_op#STRONG#ed_cl#"Garlic is supposed to be great at helping your immune system kill viruses." - cadence#ed_op#/STRONG#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0080ff#ed_cl##ed_op#STRONG#ed_cl#Maybe this is why I don't really get very sick often...I probably eat enough garlic for everyone on this board hehehehehe!!
