i had mono in hunior year high school. i was prescribed to adderal for a while so i never felt the fatigue that comes along with the illness. also at this time, i was running long distance for the high school track team. because of the adderal i was getting sicker and sicker without ever realzing it. one day i thought i had a hyrnia (spelling) due to a sharp pain in my left abdomen muscle. little did i know it was a full blown spleen infection due to one of the most severe cases of mono he had ever seen? thanks school psychologists! your simplistic labling of ADD to us kids with short attention spans and hyperactivity not only is bullshit, its making us SICK. anyways, mono wasnt so bad, yeah i felt like shit and all, but i slept all day, got tons of codeine for the spleen (ate about 8 a day then told mommy i needed more), my mom made me milkshakes, listened to thousands of records, watched tons of movies, and missed 5 weeks of school/track. come to think of it, mono was fucking AWESOME!
umm, o yeah, mono, the band, i love their record "walking cloud and deep red sky..."
saw them twice, once with high on fire, once with pelican.
good band
