I had mono twice and carry the Epstein Barr twice. I also had hepatitis when I had mono. It took a year out of my life. The doctors told me hardly anyone gets mono twice and if they do, they don't survive the second time. God has always shone down on me.

Bad mono at 16. Run down for months after. I feel like that caused fatigue throughout my life
