How the hell did I get mono?!

[Jar of Flies]

I've been feeling a little sluggish at the gym lately and it's been a while since my last check up so I decided to make an appointment last week. I got a call last night from my doctor and he tells me my blood came back positive for mono. This is a little puzzling to me for a few reasons:

1. From all the research I've done, it is very rare for a person in their 30s to get it. Mostly because something like 98% of the population are exposed to it and develop immunity way before then.

2. Besides my recent gym sessions being flat I have no other adverse symptoms and feel fine. I've had friends in high school miss weeks, sometimes months and even need to be hospitalized when they got it.

3. The only way to get it is through saliva so kissing or sharing utensils. The only person I've done this with in the last 3 years is my wife and she doesn't have it.

It's really confusing me and I'm starting the think the doctor F'd up my test.

Has anyone thats's had it have any similar (lack of) symptoms? Anyone know anyone outside of high school get it?

How do you know your wife doesn't have it? You didn't think you had it either until you were tested.

I'm not even suggesting she's cheating on you, but maybe she is not as careful as you are about sharing drinks, pipes, bongs, harmonicas...

Maybe she grabbed someone else's water bottle by mistake. Or the waiter refilled her drink but mixed it up with someone else's before bringing out back to the table. Happens all the time.

I got this in college, and I thought the circumstances were mysterious as well. I wasn't dating anyone at the time (no kissing), and I didn't share drinks with anyone. I think this is a little more contagious than people realize.

Early 40s is supposed to be a rough age for married men . Its easy to judge chris partlow but how sure are you that you wont hit and fall by the wayside of that milestone like so many men who never thought they would cheat either ?

This is definitely possible. She feels fine but she's getting tested to be sure so I'll find out soon. I'm kind of hoping she has it so I don't have to avoid her for the 6 weeks.

Try washing your hands once in a while, grub. I bet you don't wash your hands when you use a restroom do you?

I'm not saying your wife has been sleeping around and gave it to you.




But your wife has been sleeping around and gave it to you.

You should wash your hands before you touch your junk not after. People that was their hands after are more pron to getting sick for because they are fucking up their immune system. When a superbug hits they will die because their system is weak.

I prefer to wash other people shit and piss particles off my hands.
