A Long Three Months

[thundercat]

Have any of you ever suffered from a virus that just won't go away? I've had it for well over three months and I'm only just now starting to feel better (I say this cautiously while knocking on wood). I haven't been able to workout to my full capacity in ages. It's really frustrating but I don't want to make myself worse. I've seen two doctors who figure it's just a transient virus and it will be gone eventually. Has anyone ever had an experience like this?

does your virus have a name?

...like mononucleosis or something like that? When I had mono which is viral, I wasn't back to my regular bouncy self (not even close) for just over 3 months...I couldn't keep up in basketball and the remainder of the volleyball season (where I caught it in the first place, glad most teams don't share water bottles anymore!). Rest is vital to recovering from illnesses, especially incapacitating infections, and a gradual return to activites is recommended...it takes a while but it will happen!
But, if it's persisting, make sure you see your health care provider ASAP and rule out other causes of your ailments.

I was so confused, because there is another farm girl (notice the space? I didn't!), and I knew it wasn't you. Finally I figured it out! Sorry, a little off topic...
