Woke up at 4 am with such a swollen throat that I felt like I was choking ( on lack of being able to snore prbly).
At this time - no other symptoms were noticeable.
Spent 4 hours waiting for doctor's office to fit me in - Finally got diagnose of MONO. As I was leaving and dreaming of my pillow and sleep - my 15 yr old son called from school. Yep, he was sick too with the same symptoms. So back to the doctor's office I go for him (I drug my youngest son with us too - of course he was fine). After another 4 hours - we went by HEB and loaded up on juices and rented some redbox movies.
By 10 pm, I was crying because my throat hurt to swallow water, Self diagnosed MIGRAINE, I wanted to hurl, sore tummy, desperately wanted to sleep but felt too awful - plus I was caring for my 15 yr old who felt the same - and attempting to be a mom to my 11 yr old too. My hubby is out of town working while we are supposed to be packing for our relocation in 2 weeks.. Please advise how long the worst part lasts - I know it's general and different for everyone - but is their an average... I am in tears already - I can't sleep, my son can't sleep and we feel TERRIBLE!
Please oh please have some good news -
