Well, now im sick with mono and it sucks. Last week I started noticing that I was exhausted and sleeping all the time like I did before I got my CPAP machine. I didnt really think much of it.
Yesterday I woke up with a terrible sore throat. When my morning shift at work ended, I went to the school nurse and had her check my throat. She just told me it was really red. I went home and slept 5.5 hours and when I went back and had her check it, it was worse. Luckily, my doctor was able to fit me in for an appt and my boss let me have the afternoon off. I tested negative for strep but my doctor told me she was positive I have mono.
The symptoms have become worse but obviously there is nothing I can do. I know I have a lot of sleep ahead of me.
Which brings me to figuring out if I will slip into a depression state since I will spend so much time sleeping. When I feel depressed, I sleep...a lot, which I know only makes the whole thing worse. I am hoping that because I am so stable on my medication, the amount of sleeping I will do over the next few weeks and months will not effect my depression.
I will still be seeing my therapist incase I do start slipping and I have another appointment with my psychiatrist coming up. My hopes are that I am stable enough that mono will not effect my emotional or mental state. But of course it is really just a waiting game.
