mono!?

4 months ago my GP diagnosed me with mono. I had(have) headaches, dizziness, extreme nausea, shallow breathing, vertigo, sinus pressure, conjestion, migranes, extreme exhaustion. She said it would heel itself. Bull. She gave me predinsone to help me breath better and I gain 20 pounds in a week, it made me crazy as hell and I'm still sick.

Started with migraine like headaches and nausea. Tired all the time and fell asleep at drop of a hat. Went on holiday thinking I was ok .. but symptoms returned and came back with rash on face and neck (now turning into big red zits!!) sore throat, swollen glands, sore eyes and sensitive to touch all over .. just like flu symptoms? Any exertion and find it hard to breath. Getting bloods done.
