I have fibromyalgia/lupus and test positive for epstein barr virus but as far as I know I never had mono.
Take extra good care of yourself as you don't want this to turn into fibromyalgia because believe me fibro is misery like I can't explain.

Well, that's interesting. The doctor didn't mention that. I was diagnosed years ago with chronic fatigue and fibro. I'm not bothered by those symptoms since I quit ingesting MSG and Aspertame.
If that is the case I could bet you a hundred dollars that its not mono at all but a flare up of the fibromyalgia.
