What is wrong?

2 years ago when I detoxed from percocet I ended up with mono. I have it again. I have been feeling bad for the last 2 days very tired and weak. In aftercare they drew blood and did a mono spot test as I have white spots in the back of my throat and a low grade temp. I cant believe this is happening AGAIN. All they said was that detoxing every couple of months throughout the years stresses my body way too much. I had NO idea what I was doing to my body. I know that last time it 6-7months before I started feeling better.

Yes Ricart its the kissing disease,,,but you can catch it drinking outta a cup of someone that has saliva on it. Its transferred by saliva. I think i caught it 2 yrs ago from my ex's kid when he had it,,he drank outta my soda i remember. It flares up when your immune system is weakend. I really need to turn my focus on eating healthy and taking vitamins,,Ive kinda skipped thru that and didnt make good changes in that department. The main symptoms I get are an enlarged spleen that is tender,,sore throat with white spots and I am sooooooo tired. It lasts a long time. I relapsed the last time I had this cuz I felt so terrible and had no energy I thought the pills would help. This time that isnt an option and Im gonna suffer thru it.

Ur right Vicki my grandson has mono and after many specialist he finally told us once u have it u always have it and when ur immmune system is under stress it will flare and it has many times...take care if urself....it can last months and months..

Hey!  I agree with both of you guys.  Plus, I think the virus that causes Mono becomes inactivated but can always come back when the immune system is stressed/weakened.  

Take care of yourself: force fluids and rest!

No kissing!!

Hi, I am so sorry you are going through this. I basically had the same thing time after time. Opiates retard the respiratory system (I think I worded that correctly). For me, each and every detox brought on bronchitis or pneumonia. I have been sick since my last detox and certainly have problems being a long time smoker, but the days of bronchitis and serious respiratory problems are over as long as I do the right thing.

Listen to your doctor and take good care of yourself.

I don't think it causes mono but it does run down the immune system.I have read somewhere that the vitamin c levels of opiate abusers are near scurvy level in some cases.Hope you get better kit.Isn't that the
"kissing disease"?

Can years of opiate abuse cause this?
