About mono

My daughter had mono as a teenager and she has never been the same - she had a very severe case - months in bed - she was 15 yrs old

she is 35 now, and i don't remember a time when she really felt good - she has always been very tired
she has an 18 month old now and if she doesn't take a nap when he does she just can't make it through the day
she wants to have more kids but doesn't think she can handle it

she has been checked for thyroid - to no avail - she also has polycystic ovary issues -

should she be checked by a doctor and what kind of doctor do you recommend - HELP

Yes have her checked out that sounds serious and not mono related! I recommend going to a big city doctor or multiple doctors because it sounds possible like a rare condition. Also have you heard of or looked at Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? I am not a doctor but symptoms of this are similar to mono and it was worth looking at online just for reference. I hope this helps and your daughter gets better!

I had mono when I was your daughter's age. I am 45 now and have the cyst issue as well. The best advise I have is that she see a gynecologist. The tired all the time could be several issues. Lack of vitamins, mental state, etc. She should tell her gynecologist about that as well. They will probably order some tests and take it from there.
