So I've been sick with one goddamn head cold after another since the middle of January, right?

Yeah. Went to the doctor this morning for a throat culture, and she listened to my symptoms and ordered some blood work and doesn't it turn out I'm toting MONO over here. Marvelous. Couldn't be happier. I shall now stay at home until the next team meeting, Friday at 11, and consume fluids in massive quantities.

Grar.

It's totally helpful, actually - I didn't realize, until she came back and said Yeah, your mono's positive and I felt this overwhelming sense of relief, that I've apparently been in my head all this time about how hard this winter has been kicking my ass. The confirmation that there really is something going on over here is very reassuring.

Except right after that sense of relief I had a nearly overwhelming sense of despair, since there's nothing I can do proactively to make this thing go away. I went in for a throat culture! I wanted medicine! BOO.
