So I don't have mono and my white blood cells are back at a normal level. My lab work from last month had shown a pretty low white count so that was making me nervous; more than the mono.
The internet is a dangerous thing! I started researching low blood cell counts and mono symptoms and of course I get some really scary things.
Since everything was normal, my doc thinks that I got a cold virus or something similar right as I was fighting off something else, so it took up residence in my throat. Now its just a really really bad post nasal drip. My throat is still bright red, but my lymph nodes are slowly shrinking. Now I'm trying to kick the butt of this virus. I went to the gym on Thursday and mostly did strength training and a bit of cardio. I could feel that I'm definitely not at the top of my game. Yesterday I went for a run and was very tired from it.
Last night, we went to the Boston fireworks down by the Charles. After seeing 4 busses and T trains packed to the brim, we decided ot walk home. I could feel that, sadly. I definitely have to get back in shape and fight this stupid virus.
