my history with EBV
Mar. 27th, 2011 07:27 pmEBV = mono = glandular fever, so everyone reading this should be covered, I think.
March 4 (Friday): After fighting off one head cold and/or sinus infection after another since MLK weekend, I finally feel well. Combined with the nice weather and the fact that we have no impending deadlines, I am having trouble focusing on work, and mid-afternoon I propose to a supervisor that I take some personal time and leave early. She enthusiastically endorses this, and I pop off and have a charming weekend.
( March 6 (Sunday): Some time in the middle of the afternoon, my throat feels sore. )
And today I spoke to my parents, who asked when I'm supposed to be feeling more better, according to the doctor, and I've looked again at the slip they sent me away with, and I see where it says "it usually lasts 3-6 weeks before complete recovery". I make today exactly Day 21, and I'm obviously not completely recovered, and I'll tell you what, I'm not at all happy with the idea of feeling like this - i.e., basically well but needing a big ol' recharge in the middle of the day - for another month.
Sigh.
